The invention relates to a polarization-independent type photo-
isolator. The polarization-independent type photo-
isolator comprises a first
crystal wedge angle piece and a second
crystal wedge angle piece. The first
crystal wedge angle piece and the second crystal wedge angle piece are fixed to the two ends of a
magneto-optical crystal device respectively in an optical
cement mode. During forward transmission, the first crystal wedge angle piece divides parallel light from a first optical
collimator into light o and light e. The
magneto-optical crystal device rotates the polarization faces of the light o and the light e in the identical direction by 45 degrees, so that the light o and the light e are transmitted to the second crystal wedge angle piece, and the second crystal wedge angle piece refracts the light o and the light e to form two beams of parallel light; during reverse transmission, the second crystal wedge angle piece divides parallel light from the second optical
collimator into light o and light e, and at the moment, a first included angle is formed between the light o and the light e. The
magneto-optical crystal device rotates the polarization face of the light o and the light e in the identical direction and then transmits the light to the first crystal wedge angle piece, the first crystal wedge angle piece refracts the light o and the light e to form light e and light o, and at the moment, a second included angle is formed between the light e and the light o, wherein the second included angle is larger than the first included angle. The
insertion loss of the polarization-independent type photo-
isolator can be lowered.
