High
Power Faraday Isolators
|
||
Regular Faraday rotators can operate at average
power levels up to 10 W for Tb-glass models and 50 W for TGG crystal
models. Since the applications of powerful lasers expand gradually,
this limitation becomes more irritable. We offer a new family of unique
[1-3] Faraday rotators specially designed for integration
into high-power laser systems (up to 5000 W). At present there are 3
standard models as samples. The main parameters of these models are
listed below. Other apertures up to 100 mm and wavelengths from 510
to 1100 nm are available upon request. With help of tables below You
can choose for Your needs one of our standard isolator constructions
or specify Your special wishes.
