Faraday Optical Isolator, Medium Power, 4 mm Aperture, 850 nm Center
The ISO-04-850-MP Faraday Optical Isolator is essentially a uni-directional light valve. It is used to protect a laser source from destabilizing feedback or actual damage from back-reflected light. This 850 nm medium power free space optical isolator is packaged in a compact cylindrically shaped magneto-optic device with a base plate for ease of mounting into an optical train. It has a 4 mm clear aperture and a 800 to 880 nm wavelength range. The ISO-04-850-MP uses a higher damage threshold BK-7 polarizing beamsplitter (PBS) and provides double escape ports for applications where rejected power exceeds 0.5 W.

High Efficiency Performance
The TGG 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 TGG crystal and polarizers, resulting in reliable transmission of light in the forward direction.
