  • Abstract
    Polarization of 1.55-mum-wavelength light was measured by using two-photon absorption (TPA) of a Si avalanche photodiode (APD). The APD was illuminated with the light under test and with linearly polarized light. The photocurrent produced by the cross-TPA was used to determine the polarization of the light under test.
