title: Programmable polarization-independent spectral phase compensation and pulse shaping.
abstract: We report the first use of a double-layer liquid crystal modulator array for spectral phase pulse shaping that operates independent of polarization. Such insensitivity to polarization is crucial for fiber applications, e.g., dispersion compensation.
