ABSTRACT:
An exemplary polarization controller includes a first optical element having a first optical axis and configured to receive light having a first phase, a second optical element having a second optical axis and configured to emit the light having a second phase, and a third element having a third optical axis. At least a portion of the third element is interstitial to the first element and the second element. The exemplary controller also includes at least two drivers, both of which can operate in accordance with an exemplary method of present invention.
