Abstract
Various embodiments for an optical system are described herein. Generally, the optical system may include an optical transmitter coupled to an optical signal transmission path, an optical receiver coupled to an optical signal reception path, and an external signal path extending between an external optical assembly and both the optical signal transmission path and the optical signal reception path. An optical polarization division multiplexer may be provided to couple the optical signal transmission path and the optical signal reception path to the external signal path. A first non-reciprocal polarization rotator may be also positioned along the external signal path between the optical polarization division multiplexer and the external optical assembly. Further, a quarter wave plate may be positioned along the external signal path between the non-reciprocal polarization rotator and the external optical assembly.
