YESWEHAVE' Fiber Polarization Controllers use stress-induced birefringence produced by wrapping the fiber around two or three spools to create independent wave plates that will alter the polarization of the transmitted light in a single mode fiber. The fast axis of the fiber is in the plane of the spool, allowing an arbitrary input polarization state to be adjusted by rotating the paddles.
