An optical device for processing an optical signal includes a crystal wedge, a polarization modulator, and a reflective element. The crystal wedge spatially separates an input optical signal into a first beam component having a first polarization state and a second beam component having a second polarization state. The crystal wedge has an optical axis arranged at an optical axis angle such that the first beam component and the second beam component converge. The polarization modulator changes the polarization state of the first beam component and the polarization state of the second beam component in response to a control signal. The reflective element reflects the first beam component and the second beam component such that the crystal wedge spatially recombines a portion of the first beam component having the second polarization state with a portion of the second beam component having the first polarization state to form an output optical signal.
