Abstract(in English) Polarization dependence of an analog-to-digital converter using polarization modulation with an optical phase shifter is investigated. Optical signal with analog intensity and optical sampling pulses enter the converter. The intensity of the analog signal changes the polarization state of the sampling pulses through a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a wave plate and a phase shifter in one of the arms. Converted outputs are obtained by using polarization beam splitters and optical gate switches. We evaluated polarization dependence of the converter against polarization states of the sampling pulses. As the result, it is found that AD conversion without missing codes is performed when the polarization angle fluctuation of the linearly-polarized sampling pulses is less than 3π/50. Scalability of the converter was also discussed.
