Abstract

A high-isolation single-mode fiber-optic isolator assembly has been designed and fabricated by the Time and Frequency Systems Research Group. The measured forward loss is 2.6 dB and the reverse loss (isolation) is greater than 70 dB. This is a 30-dB higher isolation than the isolation of the best fiber-optic isolator previously reported. This isolator provides isolation between the semiconductor laser diode and the optical fiber in a precise reference frequency transmission system. The isolation of the laser greatly reduces the system’s sensitivity to microphonics.
