CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The primary function is to rotate the polarization plane of light passing through it, using the Faraday effect. This non-reciprocal rotation is used in optical isolators to prevent back-reflections and ensure unidirectional light propagation.
Common materials include Terbium Gallium Garnet (TGG), Neodymium-doped glass, and Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG). The choice depends on the wavelength and performance requirements.
Typical specifications include a wavelength range (e.g., 1030–1090 nm for Yb-doped fiber lasers), aperture diameter (2–10 mm), rotation angle (45 ±0.5°), insertion loss (≤0.5 dB), extinction ratio (≥20 dB), damage threshold (≥5 J/cm² for 10 ns pulses), operating temperature (0–50 °C), storage temperature (-40–85 °C), and relative humidity (5–95% non-condensing). Always verify with the manufacturer.
Consider the wavelength of your light source, beam size (aperture), required rotation angle, acceptable insertion loss and extinction ratio, and environmental conditions. Also check the damage threshold for your pulse characteristics. Confirm all specifications with the supplier.
