Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This paper utilizes an analytical model of polarization dependent frequency sideband generation via the Kerr effect in a highly nonlinear fiber to determine the state of polarization (SOP) of a laser by all-optical means. Theoretical analysis shows that the power of the n order sideband generated by the propagation of two lasers with distinct frequencies in the nonlinear medium is proportional to cos (α/2), where α is the angle between the normalized Stokes vectors representing the SOPs of the lasers on the Poincaré sphere. By tailoring the SOP of one laser acting as a reference and experimentally measuring the power of the first order sideband, the SOP of the laser under test is recovered with an error smaller than 10.22° on the Poincaré sphere corresponding to 0.8% the sphere's total area. Comparing the SOPs of two lasers without referencing them to fixed polarizers enables potential applications in remote environmental sensing, novel polarization division multiplexing schemes for enhanced telecommunication data rates, and scientific instrumentation.
