Frequently Asked Questions

A Faraday rotator changes the polarization state of light traveling through it, while an isolator is a device that allows light to pass through it in only one direction.

They are useful in interferometers because polarization changes through the fiber are cancelled out on the return journey.

The isolator is characterized with low insertion loss, high isolation, high power handling, high return loss, excellent environmental stability and reliability.

They are ideal for multi-level laser amplifier, optical parametric oscillator, ring laser, erbium-doped fiber amplifier, seed injecting laser, and optical modulator applications.

The pulse damage threshold is 5J/cm2 at 10ns.
