Abstract
Methods are known for implementing general optical functions using wave splitters. However, these methods rely on these wave splitters having maximal extinction ratio, which is difficult to achieve in practice. The present invention provides methods for automatically adjusting wave splitters to provide maximal extinction ratio.
