Disclosed are methods and apparatus for providing endless transformation of the polarization of light. A polarization splitter splits light having an input polarization into beams having substantially orthogonal polarizations. The beams are provided as substantially copolarized to a pair of optical waveguides which are selectively optically coupled. Electrodes apply selected electric fields to the optical waveguides for providing transformation of the input polarization to a selected output polarization. The outputs of the optical waveguides are provided as substantially orthogonally polarized to a combiner for providing a beam of output light having the selected output polarization.

La présente invention concerne des procédés permettant de réaliser la transformation sans fin de la polarisation de la lumière. Un séparateur polarisé sépare la lumière polarisée en entrée en faisceaux à polarisations sensiblement orthogonales. Ces faisceaux sont remis sensiblement copolarisés à une paire de guides d'ondes optiques sélectivement et optiquement couplés. Les électrodes appliquent des champs électriques sélectionnés aux guides d'ondes optiques pour permettre de réaliser la transformation de la polarisation en entrée donnant une polarisation de sortie sélectionnée. Les sorties des guides d'ondes optiques sont remis en polarisation sensiblement orthogonale à un combineur, de façon à obtenir un faisceau de lumière de sortie polarisé en sortie selon la polarisation de sortie sélectionnée.
