摘要:
An apparatus comprising an optical input configured to receive an optical carrier, an polarization beam splitter configured to forward a first polarized component of the optical carrier along a first light path, and forward a second polarized component of the optical carrier along a second light path, wherein the first polarized component comprises a first polarization that is perpendicular to a second polarization of the second polarized component upon exiting the optical splitter, and an optical modulator coupled to the first light path and the second light path, the modulator configured to modulate the first polarized component of the optical carrier and the second polarized component of the optical carrier.
