    Abstract: A fiber optical circulator in which is a light beam is fed from a fiber of a first port in a dual core glass capillary, then collimated before being passed to a birefringent crystal wherein the light beam is divided into two orthogonal components o and e with a displacement. The State of Polarization (SOP) of components then are changed into the same, perpendicular to the incident plane of the birefringent crystal prism by the group of Faraday Rotator and two Half-Wave Plates (HWP) that have different optical axis orientation and cover o and e components respectively. Then the light components with the same SOP pass into a birefringent prism where they receive angle correction to meet receiving requirement in incident angle for the fiber of port 2 without displacement due to their SOP. This is followed by a second group of HWP and Faraday Rotator that changes the SOP of two components back to orthogonal. The light beam of components then pass into the second birefringent crystal which combines the o and e components together and pass through collimator lens, and are received by optical fiber of the second port. The optical path from the second port to the third port is similar to that described above. However, due to the non-reciprocal property of the Faraday Rotator, the SOP of the two light components from the second port will be in the incident plane of the crystal prism, therefore receive a displacement after the birefringent crystal prism. This displacement combined with angle correction allows the light from the second port is fed into the fiber of the third port. An alternative design uses a pair of glass prism and a plane crystal to replace the function of crystal prism in the preferred embodiment.

    Abstract: A fiber optical circulator wherein optical fibers of three ports share one glass capillary, one collimator lens and one walk-off crystal. Three optical fibers lie on a plane in a glass capillary that is aligned with a collimator lens concentrically. A light fed into the fiber of port 1, which is off optical axis of collimator lens, is collimated with an angle &thgr; to the axis of collimate lens. The collimated beam is divided into two orthogonal components by a first crystal. A device group consisting of one Faraday rotator and one pair of Half Wave Plates transfers the State Of Polarization (SOP) of two components into the same. The angled part of a combined prism bent both beams to be parallel to optical axis of system. The lights pass through a second crystal without displacement due to their SOP. Their SOP receive 90° rotations by a round trip in followed Faraday rotator with help of a reflection film on the backside or a mirror. The light components receive a displacement onto optical axis after the second crystal due to their rotated SOP, pass through the flat part of combined prism, changes their SOP with help of the group of Rotator and wave plate, combined into one beam by the first crystal, and is focused into the fiber of port 2 by collimate lens. The process of port 2 to port 3 is similar to above. The light fed into fiber of port 2 is collimated to be parallel to the optical axis. The collimated beams pass though all parts then reflected by the reflection film or mirror. The light beam in return path receives a displacement by the second crystal and bending angle by the angled part of combined prism. The light is finally focused into the fiber of port 3 by the collimate lens. Since this circulator requires less optical parts, it achieves compact size and low cost simultaneously.
