High-frequency modulation of the four states of polarization of light with a single phase modulator

TL;DR: In this article, a method for light polarization modulation using a single phase modulator is described, which works in a double-pass configuration: the polarization of light is modulated a first time by the phase modulators, and is then modified by a coupling object before being modulated by the same modulator.
