Research abstract
All-fiber optical isolators with high power handling are desired for high energy all-fiber laser systems.NP Photonics proposes to design and develop all-fiber optical isolators at the 2 m wavelength region using our unique magneto-optic glasses and innovative all-fiber designs.The proposed all-fiber isolators have the advantages of high power handling, compactness, and high reliability.In Phase I, we have demonstrated the feasibility and studied the risk to develop an all-fiber optical isolator for 2 m high energy lasers.In this Phase II program, an all-fiber optical isolator prototype with power handling of 50 W will be developed and delivered.
