摘要：
The performances and characteristics of a polymer-cholesteric-liquid-crystal reflector, used as an output coupler in a Nd-doped fiber laser, are presented. We show that a judicious combination of a linear polarizer and a quarter wave plate with the cholesteric coupler allows for a continuous scanning of the output-intensity from zero to a maximum value following the well-known Malus law. The results are shown to be contained in a simple Jones Matrix formalism. The LP-QW-PCLC combination is characterized by a reflection coefficient that can be freely adjusted from 0 to 1 by a simple rotation of the quarter-wave plate. (C) 2002 Optical Society of America.
