Abstract
In this work, optimized designs of broadband polarization rotators based on cascaded
nematic liquid crystal cells are presented. Visible spectral range (400 nm – 700 nm) is
considered in the designs. A simple computational optimization approach, with performance
comparable with more complex existing procedures, is used. Application of designed
achromatic polarization rotators in the implementation of optical switches for
wavelength division multiplexing in polymer optical fibers networks is also analyzed.
