Birefringence effect in devices based on phase modulators in a Sagnac interferometer

Optical phase modulators (PMs) in a Sagnac interferometer (SI) have many applications in electro-optic and microwave photonic (MWP) systems. Propagating lights in an SI are combined coherently at its output, so their polarizations must be maintained. Therefore, polarization-maintaining optical ...
