ABSTRACT
We report preliminary results concerning a free-space optical switch between single-mode fibers with a ferroelectric liquid-crystal (FLC) spatial light modulator (SLM). In particular, we show experimentally that such a device can operate in a polarization-insensitive manner. The influence of the geometrical and physical features of the FLC SLM on the overall performance of the optical fiber switch are also discussed.
