Abstract
A system including a first polarization element configured to linearly polarize at least one beam in open space, a processing device configured to receive linearly polarized beams at an input, downline from the first polarization element, a first polarization switch downline from said processing device, wherein the processing device carries out an identical processing on two states of a same input beam. The processing device includes a multiple delay creation device with polarization switches, and the multiple delay creation device includes, on two routes (j=1,2): n polarization switches CP , (1≦i≦n); n polarization splitters/recombiners SP (1≦i≦n); and n delay devices R (1≦i≦n).
