Abstract
A new fiber depolarizer employing a polarization beam splitter loop structure is proposed and demonstrated. The depolarizer is devised for broad-band operation and the depolarization of narrow linewidth light source without any help of polarization controllers or Faraday rotator mirrors. A polarizing method is developed that shows good performance without polarization control unit. Therefore, the proposed depolarizer can be cost-effective and easily configured. From experiments, low output degree of polarization less than 10% is obtained for a narrow linewidth light source.
