It’s the IR that makes IR isolators difficult. The critical component in any isolator is the magneto-optic material that performs the rotation of the plane of polarization in the magnetic field. Whereas in the VIS and NIR there are many candidate magneto-optic materials, in the infrared the choices are greatly reduced. In our Mid-IR Isolators we utilize a very small family of highly specialized materials that demonstrate low absorption and acceptable Verdet Constant at the wavelength of operation.
