Free Space Isolators
Product description:
Free space isolators are divided into two categories: polarization dependent isolator and polarization independent isolator.
The polarization dependent isolator, or Faraday isolator consists of three major parts which are input polarizer (polarized vertically),Faraday Rotator, and output polarizer (aligned at 45° relative to the input polarizer).
The polarization independent isolator consists of three main components, which are birefringent beam displacer (polarizer), Faraday Rotator, half-wave plate. It's usually used for maintaining the stability of optical system effectively in fiber laser system.
CASTECH adopts high quality megneto-optic crystals with low absorption and high extinction ratios, and polarizers with low transmission losses to achieve outstanding performance. Customized free space isolators are available with peak isolation up to 45dB, maximum transmission above 95%, and aperture up to 45mm.
Applications:
● Laser precision machining
● Laser sensing system
● Ultrafast laser system
● OCT system
● Laser detection etc
Polarization Reference:
● All Free Space Isolators non-reciprocally rotates the plane of polarized light in 45°;
● Extra half-wave plate for modifying output polarization is available on request.
Beam selection of polarization-dependent isolators:
● Forward propagating beam Pi
● Reverse propagating beam Pr
