Abstract: A liquid crystal polarization rotator device is able to rotate polarization fast enough to compensate polarization mode dispersion. The amount or degree of rotation is rapidly reconfigurable. The device includes a cavity filled with a nematic liquid crystal material. The cavity has electrodes on a first face, e.g., a first substrate, and electrodes on a second face, e.g., a second substrate, opposite the first face. The electrodes are shaped and positioned to produce an electric field across the cavity capable of rotating the alignment direction of the molecules of the liquid crystal material in the cavity. The electrodes are patterned on the ends of optical fibers. Aligning and positioning of the electrodes on the ends of the optical fibers with a predetermined spacing forms the cavity that is filled with the nematic liquid crystal material. The filled cavity is a so-called liquid crystal microcell wave plate. A control system is used to control the “rapid” rotation of the alignment direction of the molecules of the liquid crystal material. The control system receives data regarding the polarization of light entering or leaving the microcell and adjusts the direction of the electric field also using trigger pulses such as to rotate the nematic liquid crystal material molecules by a first predetermined number of degrees greater than a second desired number of degrees of rotation. Then, the trigger pulses for the electric field are stopped after the molecules have rotated by the second desired number of degrees. In this manner, the molecules rotate by the second desired number of degrees much faster than if a pulse had been applied with the same speed to rotate them by the second desired number of degrees in he first place.

Abstract: A method and system for rapidly initializing a rover unit in a networked system. In one embodiment, the present invention acquires rover unit initialization data at a reference station. In one embodiment, the rover unit initialization data is selected from the group consisting of: ephemeris data, almanac data, satellite health data, ionospheric data, UTC and GPS time and approximate rover position information. In the present embodiment, the present invention then communicatively couples the reference station to a server station having memory for storing the rover unit initialization data. After communicatively coupling the reference station to the server station, the present embodiment transfers the rover unit initialization data from the reference station to the server station. The present embodiment then communicatively couples the rover unit to the server station. Next, the present embodiment supplies the rover unit initialization data from the server station to the rover unit. As a result, in the present embodiment, the rover unit is able to be initialized and obtain a first position fix without requiring the rover unit to acquire the initialization data directly from at least one satellite. In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method and system for providing differentially corrected position information to a rover unit in a networked system. In still another embodiment, the present invention provides a method and system for providing both initialization data and differentially corrected position information to a rover unit in a networked system.
