  2. Optical isolator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_isolator

    Figure 2 shows a Faraday rotator with an input polarizer, and an output analyzer. For a polarization dependent isolator, the angle between the polarizer and the analyzer, , is set to 45°. The Faraday rotator is chosen to give a 45° rotation. Polarization dependent isolators are typically used in free space optical systems.

  3. Opto-isolator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opto-isolator

    Schematic diagram of an opto-isolator showing source of light (LED) on the left, dielectric barrier in the center, and sensor (phototransistor) on the right [note 1]. An opto-isolator (also called an optocoupler, photocoupler, or optical isolator) is an electronic component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using light. [1]

  4. Galvanic isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_isolation

    Everlight EL817 phototransistor opto-isolator in DIP-4 package Halo TG110-S050N2RL 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet pulse transformer in SO-16 package, with the underside shown on the right. Galvanic isolation is a principle of isolating functional sections of electrical systems to prevent current flow; no direct conduction path is permitted.

  5. Optical amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_amplifier

    This is not unusual – when an atom "lases" it always gives up its energy in the same direction and phase as the incoming light. Thus all of the additional signal power is guided in the same fiber mode as the incoming signal. An optical isolator is usually placed at the output to prevent reflections returning from the attached fiber. Such ...

  6. Optical circulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_circulator

    Optical Circulator symbol. An optical circulator is a three- or four-port optical device designed such that light entering any port exits from the next. This means that if light enters port 1 it is emitted from port 2, but if some of the emitted light is reflected back to the circulator, it does not come out of port 1 but instead exits from port 3.

  7. Resistive opto-isolator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistive_opto-isolator

    Opto-isolator VTL2C1 with LED input and photoresistor output. Resistive opto-isolator (RO), also called photoresistive opto-isolator, vactrol (after a genericized trademark introduced by Vactec, Inc. in the 1960s), analog opto-isolator [notes 1] or lamp-coupled photocell, [1] is an optoelectronic device consisting of a source and detector of light, which are optically coupled and electrically ...

  8. High-voltage interface relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_interface_relay

    The developmental trends of interface relay technology suggest the use of opto-isolator as the prevailing design principle of interface relays. An opto-isolator can be implemented in terms of an LED and a phototransistor (or photothyristor or a photodiode) or a lamp and a photoresistor. An example of an opto-electronic interface relay is shown ...

  9. Optical tweezers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_tweezers

    The main mechanism for sorting is the arrangement of the optical lattice points. As the cell flow through the optical lattice, there are forces due to the particles drag force that is competing directly with the optical gradient force (See Physics of optical tweezers) from the optical lattice point. By shifting the arrangement of the optical ...
