bigger change. Cosine variation curve is not observed at
Figure 8 (b). It implies input p olarization state of Figure
7(a) do not arise phase difference of TE and TM modes
bigger change, and it not arise rotation and extinction
ratio bigger change. Thus it can be seen, if input polari-
zation state arise phase difference of TE and TM modes
bigger change, output powers at x axis or y axis appear
cosine variation. It proves in theory and experiment, ar-
bitrary output probe polarization states can be obtained
through adjusting input pump polarization states. In ex-
periment, the adjusting of polarization states can mani-
pulate easily base on transform relation of different coor-
dinate syste m.
