Abstract
We present in this paper an endless polarization controller using two wave-plates with rotating axes and variable birefringence. We demonstrate the characteristics of the polymer network liquid crystal wave-plate and a polarization control method with only two degrees of freedom. Finally, some experimental attempts toward endless polarization control have been performed.
