Abstract:
We demonstrate a thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) dynamic polarization controller (DPC) for ultra-fast polarization tracking. Experimental results show that when targeting a specific state of polari-zation (SOP) with S1 = 0, tracking speeds of 200-krad/s and 600-krad/s is achieved, using 2 and 4 stages, respectively.
