Abstract
We report on an extension of the concept of nonlinear self-repolarization process by means of two different architectures based on dual-Omnipolarizers. More specifically, we compare the performance in terms of polarization attraction capabilities provided by two novel arrangements: The first configuration relies on two cascaded Omnipolarizers, whilst the second architecture integrates an additional device directly into the feedback loop. Our study reveals that for a constant power budget, the cascading of two subsequent Omnipolarizers enables to improve the efficiency of the attraction process, yielding an output Degree-of-Polarization close to unity, but at the cost of twofold equipments.
