Abstract
A high quality small-sized polarization independent optical isolator for use in an optical fiber communication system, wherein a pair of magneto-optical elements having Faraday rotation angle of 45.+-.5 are contained in permanent magnets and arranged between a pair of birefringent crystal plates for splitting and combining an optical path of a laser light, and two polarizers arranged in parallel as being bounded on the midpoint of separated optical paths are interposed between the pair of magneto-optical elements, whereby a degree of worsening the optical isolation can be kept minimum against variations of an environmental temperature and wave length.
