Abstract
We provide a detailed theoretical analysis and we report a novel experimental method to vary the transmission through a fiber optical loop mirror with a symmetrical coupler and a quarter-wave retarder in the loop. When the quarter-wave retarder is rotated the transmission is adjusted over a wide range.
