Abstract: The disclosure relates to an optical characteristic measurement system including at least: a light source unit which outputs an input beam of a specific wavelength; a sensing unit which generates a signal beam by using a sensor whose optical characteristic is affected by an external environment condition; and a measuring unit which derives varied physical amount by using the signal beam delivered from the sensing unit, wherein the measuring unit includes: an optical coupler which distributes the signal beam into the two optical paths; and an interrogation optical fiber which is arranged on one of the paths on which the signal beam travels. The interrogation optical fiber has a linear light absorption characteristic in the specific wavelength range, and the light intensity of the signal beam is measured to detect a wavelength of the signal beam delivered from the sensing unit, and finally derive the physical amount applied from outside.

Abstract: An optical isolator includes: an input-side lens converting an operating light incident in a forward direction via an optical fiber input end into parallel light beams; an input-side polarizer disposed on a right hand of the input-side lens; a Faraday rotator rotating a polarization plane of the operating light having been converted into the parallel light beams; an output-side polarizer disposed on an output side of the Faraday rotator; an output-side lens transmitting the operating light having passed through the output-side polarizer; an optical filter blocking light leakage and transmitting the operating light; an optical fiber output end that the operating light exits; and a housing accommodating the input-side lens, the input-side polarizer, the Faraday rotator, the output-side polarizer, the output-side lens, the optical filter and the optical fiber output end therein to enclose them.
