摘要: A method of providing a beam having precisely orthogonally polarized components includes generating with substantially components, splitting the to separate paths, projecting each component into respective polarization preserving optical fiber (PPF) or polarizing fiber, recombining output from fibers single beam, and transmitting an interferometer. The PPFs are rotationally adjustable at their ends provide precise orthogonality in resulting beam.
