Abstract

An optical isolator has high isolation and low insertion loss in bandwidth. An input fiber collimator, isolator cores, and an output fiber collimator are connected in sequence in an optical path. Acute ends of wedge surfaces of lenses and fiber heads of the collimators are polished to form small platforms. Faraday crystals of the cores are optically active and are different in wavelength; birefringent wedges of the cores are different in wedge angle; and an optical axis of the birefringent wedges at an emitting end of the first core is perpendicular to an optical axis of the birefringent wedges at an incident end of the second core. The two stages of Faraday crystals with different wavelengths are overlaid to extend and widen isolation performance in bandwidth, and a small-spot collimator design is adopted so coupling loss is low, performance is stable, and reliability is high.
