Abstract

A Faraday isolator with compensation of thermally induced depolarization outside magnetic field was implemented for the first time on TGG ceramics. Stable isolation ratio of 38 dB in steady-state regime at a laser power of 300 W was demonstrated in experiment. Theoretical estimates show a feasibility of a device that would provide an isolation ratio higher than 30 dB up to laser power of 2kW.
