Both polarization controllers and phase modulators are widely used in telecommunications and other applications. Presently, most polarization controllers and phase modulators cannot handle high optical power up to 10 W/channel. In this SBIR program, researchers of Fontus Applied Technologies propose an innovative polarization controller and a phase modulator using our advanced electro-optic technology. The proposed devices are optical damage resistant, fast, wide spectrum range, and low cost, compared with the currently available technologies. Approved for Public Release 14-MDA-8047 (14 Nov 14)
