Patent number: 6549686Abstract: This specification discloses a reflective optical circulator, which uses an optical reflective device to reflect an incident light beam from an optical port so that the reflected light beams further pass through all optical devices (i.e., all sorts of optical crystals) on the optical paths.

The invention achieves the effect of repeatedly using crystals, lowering the number of crystals and the length of the optical circulator. On the other hand, all optical ports can be installed on the same side of the optical circulator, minimizing the device and making it easy to use.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2001Date of Patent: April 15, 2003Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Chen-Bin Huang, Wei-Jen Chou
