We have developed a transmissive optical modulator with arbitrary control of polarization and phase. The phase control range exceeds 6π, and the polarization is fully controllable on Poincaré sphere. The installation is completed by simply inserting the device into the optical path of an existing optical device. This paper describes its principle, performance, and potential application to high power lasers.
