Abstract :
This paper experimentally investigated Faraday isolator (FI) assembled by the scheme with the internal thermally induced depolarization compensation and temperature stabilization of MOE using water cooling. The scheme of a Faraday isolator was proposed, and the main idea was to replace one 45° Faraday rotator by two identical 22.5° rotators and a 67.5° reciprocal polarization rotator placed between them.
