Polarization rotator
General Photonics
designed for fiber optic networks and measurement applications. The
state of polarization (SOP) of the reflected light is rotated 90 degrees
from that of the input light. A unique property of Faraday rotator mirrors
is that at any point along the fiber, the SOPs of the forward going and reflected
light are always orthogonal to each other, regardless of the birefringence of the fiber.
Therefore, when properly used, the device can help to eliminate polarization sensitivity in
optical fiber systems.
