The fiber optic isolator is a two way or two-port micro-optic device built along with SMF28e fiber or Hi1060 fiber. This device guides optical light in one single direction and prevents it from reflecting and scattering in the reverse direction. These isolators feature high isolation, low insertion, and great environmental reliability and stability. They are best used for suppressing reverse reflection in fiber lasers and many other fiber optic systems that are based on high-performance lasers.
The polarization insensitive optical isolators are designed and manufactured to match Telcordial standards. The device gets its capability to handle high power from epoxy-free optical path design and a unique manufacturing process. These devices are highly characterized by superior perforce at low cost while providing high reliability. Polarization insensitive optical isolators have widely been used in transmitters, Raman amplifiers, fiber lasers, DWDM systems, EDFAs, and other fiber optic communication equipment to suppress backscattering and reverse reflection.
