In 1845 Michael Faraday carried out a series of experiments to determine whether linearly polarized light, when passed though a transparent insulator, was influenced by strong electric fields. Despite ...

They exploited an effect called Faraday rotation, which rotates the angle of polarized radiation as it travels through a magnetized ionized region. By measuring the amount of rotation for each pixel ...

Fiber optic Faraday rotators take the output from single-mode optical fibers and rotate the polarization by a specified amount. They eliminate the state of polarization (SOP) variations that can occur ...
