Abstract
An integrated Ti:LiNbO3 acousto-optical TE-TM converter followed by a polarizer was used to realize a wavelength-selective polarimeter. The stop-band attenuation was shown to increase to > 28 dB when more mode converters were integrated on a chip. Based on this experience, a four-stage demonstration unit was built, and polarimetric spectra as well as the time evolution of the state of polarization were measured. Finally, a simple optical spectrum analyzer is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
