An Electrically Tunable Polarizer for a Fiber System Based on a Polarization-Dependent Beam Size Derived From a Liquid Crystal Lens

A broadband electrically tunable variable polarizer for fiber systems based on a liquid crystal lens is proposed and demonstrated. The polarization selectivity is based on a polarization-sensitive coupling efficiency to the fiber in the fiber system. For an incident ordinary ray, the output beam siz...
