Key Features of Faraday Rotators:
- Non-reciprocal Polarization Rotation: Enables a 45° rotation of laser polarization, ensuring efficient rejection of backward light propagation.
- Wide Wavelength Range: Operational from 355 nm to 4500 nm, adaptable to multiple laser systems.
- High-Power Handling: Customizable Faraday rotators capable of handling up to 500 W average power for high-performance applications.
- High Extinction Ratio: Delivers >30 dB extinction ratio for superior performance in demanding laser systems.
- Advanced Quality Assurance: Low absorption coefficients and high Verdet constant ensure reliability and minimal degradation.
General Description of the Device:
Faraday Rotators by POC provide precise non-reciprocal rotation of light polarization, ensuring efficient rejection of backward-propagating light. When light transmits through the rotator, its polarization rotates by 45° in the forward direction and an additional 45° upon reverse propagation. This unique behavior, driven by the magnetic field alignment, ensures superior isolation of laser beams.
Designed with cutting-edge magneto-optic crystals featuring high Verdet constants and low absorption coefficients, these devices deliver outstanding reliability and long-term performance. POC employs a proprietary high Laser-Induced Damage Threshold (LIDT) process technology, making these rotators suitable for high-power applications up to 500 W. They operate efficiently across wavelengths from 355 nm to 4500 nm, catering to diverse industrial and scientific requirements.
Applications and Examples:
- Laser Sensing Systems: Ensures accurate and precise polarization control in advanced optical sensors.
- Ultrafast Laser Systems: Compatible with high-power ultrafast lasers for material processing and research.
- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Provides stable polarization control for medical imaging systems.
- Laser Detection Systems: Enhances performance in spectroscopic and diagnostic applications.
