Arbitrary-to-linear or linear-to-arbitrary polarization controller based on Faraday and Pockels effects in a single BGO crystal.
We propose an arbitrary-to-linear or linear-to-arbitrary polarization controller based on the mutual action of Faraday and Pockels effects in a single Bi(4)Ge(3)O(12) (BGO) crystal after the wave coupling theory describing these two effects. It is demonstrated that, the expected conversion of arbitrary-to-linear or linear-to-arbitrary polarization state of light can be realized by adjusting the applied electric and magnetic fields.
