The polarization-spectral structure of the modulated light by means of modulator with two ADP crystals and a half-wave plate

An analysis of the polarization dynamics of the light modulated by means of the transverse electrooptic effect in a modulator with two ADP crystals and a half-wave plate placed between them is performed in the Jones matrix formalism and in terms of coherence matrix , for an arbitrary bias voltage applied to the ADP crystals. Two important cases for applications, no bias voltage and quarter-wave plate bias voltage applied to the ADP crystals, are particularized.
