  • Abstract
    We report characterization result using weak coherent pulses on four states polarization flipper utilizing two Pockels cells. Visibility of nearly 90% and above was achieved for each four linear polarization input states. A good polarization contrast between not flipped and flipped states shows that this configuration can be applied for single photon applications.
