Newport’s Broadband optical isolators are designed for use across a broad spectral range where optical feedback can adversely affect laser performance. The Broadband provides passive broadband isolation across the entire spectral range of the isolator. Some common applications for the Broadband are Ti:Sapphire laser systems:, R&D and laboratory use where multiple wavelengths are of interest, and OEM systems that use the rejected beam such as regenerative amplifiers.

High Efficiency Performance
The YIG crystal utilized in our Faraday isolators creates a large Verdet constant that ultimately describes the strength of the Faraday effect and provides effective isolation of back-reflected light. Additionally, these isolators have low absorption as a function of the YIG crystal and polarizers, resulting in reliable transmission of light in the forward direction.
4mm, 5 mm, or 8 mm Apertures
High power faraday optical isolators are offered with 4 mm, 5 mm, or 8 mm apertures for larger beam sizes.
