Abstract
We demonstrate a compact, low loss, low cost in-fiber polarimeter using a UV induced waveplate and fiber gratings. The polarimeter has accuracy comparable to commercial devices, is wavelength insensitive over 70 nm, and is tested in control loop that actively stabilizes a random input polarization.
