Abstract

See full text

Optical isolators for use in fiber optic networks utilizing a birefringent wedge set with a Faraday rotator disposed between the birefringent wedges. In a first embodiment a polarization maintaining optical isolator is disclosed which will maintain the polarization of the light which passes through it in a forward direction and block light in the reverse direction. In a second embodiment a single polarization optical isolator is disclosed which will pass only a single linear polarization of the light in a forward direction and block any light in the reverse direction.
