摘要: An input/output port, a birefringent element, variable polarization rotator, and a reflector are arranged along an optical axis in the order named. The variable polarization rotator includes permanent magnets for applying a fixed magnetic field to a Faraday rotator in an in-plane direction to magnetically saturate the Faraday rotator and a solenoid coil for applying a variable magnetic field to the Faraday rotator in a direction of the optical axis. A fixed magnetic field is applied in the direction, in which the Faraday rotator is likely to be magnetically saturated. The Faraday rotator can be saturated with a low magnetic field of about 100 Oe. The permanent magnets may employ ferrite permanent magnets, which have weak magnetic forces. A variable magnetic field may also be reduced. Therefore, an air-core coil can be used.

摘要: Disclosed is a Faraday rotator capable of reducing the temperature dependence on a Faraday rotation angle, thereby enhancing the temperature characteristic, particularly, in a service environment in which the magnetization direction is variable, and an optical device using the Faraday rotator. The Faraday rotator includes a Faraday element which rotates the polarization plane of polarized light rays passing through the Faraday element when an external magnetic field is applied to the Faraday element. In this Faraday rotator, assuming that an angle between a magnetization direction of the Faraday element and a light ray direction is taken as &agr;, the amount of the temperature-dependent change in Faraday rotation angle is reduced by applying the external magnetic field in a direction in which a first amount of the change in Faraday rotation angle due to the temperature dependence on the angle &agr; and a second amount of the change in Faraday rotation angle due to the temperature dependence on the Faraday effect satisfy a relationship in which the sign of the first amount is plus or minus, the sign of the second amount is minus or plus, and the absolute value of one of the first and second amounts is less than twice the absolute value of the other amount, more preferably, substantially equal to the absolute value of the other amount.
