ABSTRACT:
By making combined interferometric and polarimetric measurements on a device under test, the relative phase uncertainty in device characterizations performed with a polarimeter or polarization analyzer alone is removed. This allows determination of the group delay to within a constant offset and the chromatic dispersion of the device under test.
