Principle of Operation

Faraday isolators are optical components which

allow light travel in only one direction. Their mode of
operation is based on the non-linear Faraday effect
direction of the magnetic eld (45) and the
(magneto rotation). In principle, the function of an
exit polarizer is also oriented at 45, so that the
optical isolator is analogue to that of an electrical

Technical Overview
Introduction
The function of the tunable LINOS Faraday isolators
in the following chapter is based on a single stage
isolator. Precision mechanics allow a continuous
adjustment of the interaction between the magnetic
eld and the TGG crystal without moving any optical
components.

It is possible to set the rotation angle to any value
between 0 to 45 within the wavelength range
in order to study the effects of varying degrees
of feedback. Easy access to the blocked beam is
provided by polarizing beam splitter cubes, which
divert the blocked beam by 90.

Applications
All two stage LINOS Faraday isolators are typically
used to improve the power and frequency stability of
diode lasers used in spectroscopy, interferometry and
precision control as well as in alignment applications.
Since the output polarization and the beam position
are conserved for all two stage LINOS Faraday
isolators, the inuence of the smallest feedback

which suppress these ringing effects efciently.
State of Polarization
The MIQS- and CIQS-series cells are supplied with an
integrated polarizer: the alignment of the Pockels cell
relative to the polarizer thus becomes unnecessary.
The rotational position of the cell relative to the
resonator axis can be chosen at will. However, should
the polarization state of the light in the resonator be
determined by other components, such as anisotropic
amplication of the laser crystal or Brewster surfaces
of the laser rod, then the rotational position of the
