A wavelength and polarization selector made of holographic polarization beamsplitting cubes for optical communications

Abstract

We present a combined wavelength-polarization selector made of holographic polarization beamsplitting cubes in series. Each unit cube comprises a pair of prisms and a transmission-type phase volume hologram. The assembled selector, when examined with an intensity modulated beam of known polarization state, demonstrated our designated target. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
