[0017] The above content and other control methods will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0018] Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL) is the full range insertion loss after transmission through an optical medium (a device or a material) due to changing its polarization state, from the original SOP (initial state) into the optical medium. Therefore, PDL can be expressed as:
[0019] PDL = 10 log 10 (Pmax / Pmin)
[0020] Here Pmax and Pmin are the maximum and minimum values representing the optical transmission power in the device and medium, for all possible input polarization phenomena.
[0021] figure 1 Illustrates a typical device used to measure PDL in an optical medium or device under test. The SOP changes in the input light, through all possible SOPS; the optical transmission power is measured by obtaining the maximum and minimum transmission powers. Based on the measured Pmax and Pmin, PDL can be calculated by Eq.
