TORNOS Medium Power Optical Isolators - 500 nm to 1030 nm
EOT's TORNOS Faraday Rotators rotate the plane of polarized light 45° in the forward direction and an additional 45° of non-reciprocal rotation in the reverse direction while maintaining the light's linear polarization. When placed between crossed polarizers, a Faraday rotator becomes an optical isolator.
An optical isolator provides high transmission in the forward direction and strongly attenuates any light traveling in the reverse direction, effectively protecting laser diodes from the deleterious effects of back reflections.
TORNOS Optical Isolators can be ordered with dichroic glass polarizers to minimize the size of the device for low power applications or they can be ordered with polarizing beam splitter cube polarizers for applications where maximum transmission is required and power levels do not permit the use of dichroic glass polarizers. By aligning the output polarizer orthogonal to the backward traveling light, isolation can be maximized within the usable wavelength range of the optical isolator.
