Abstract: Methods and devices for polarizing light in a proton exchange polarizer where cross-coupling of unwanted modes of light is reduced with an integrated spatial filter. An optically transmissive substrate such as a substrate (16a) created from LiNbO3 or LiTaO3 has side surfaces, which reflect unguided TM mode light. The light originates from an input fiber (12). The input fiber is connected to the substrate at one end and an output fiber is connected to receive guided TE mode light at the opposite end. The spatial filter (34, 38a-c, 42, 44) is positioned at the primary reflection position of the light with respect to the sides of the polarizer. To improve extinction further, the spatial filter can also be located at secondary reflection points in another alternate embodiment.

Abstract: The method involves influencing temperature of air leaving a cooling element by changing air cooling capacity. A determination is made whether the cooling element is loaded with water or is dry by the change of the cooling capacity provided by a temperature regulation system. The water loading of the cooling element is considered during increasing of air temperature of the cooling element by changing the air cooling capacity. The cooling capacity is reduced for drying the cooling element in order to attain a desired value of the cooling capacity.
