  • Methods for optical isolation in high power fiber-optic systems
    Patent number: 7433558
    Abstract: Methods for optical isolation in high peak power fiber-optic systems prevent damage to a facet within a fiber-optic isolator caused by back-reflected light from, for example, an optical amplifier. Preventing damage to the facet may include expanding a mode area of the back-reflected light and/or reducing a change in refractive index.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 29, 2007
    Date of Patent: October 7, 2008
    Assignee: Raydiance, Inc
    Inventors: Timothy J. Booth, Ismail T. Yilmaz, James F. Brennan, III
