Abstract:
It is shown experimentally that cooling of a Faraday isolator to liquid nitrogen temperature considerably suppresses the thermally induced depolarisation and reduces the thermal lens. This leads to an increase in the maximum average laser radiation power passing through the isolator by a factor of more than thirty for the same degree of isolation. It is shown that for the same level of cooling, conventional Faraday isolators can operate for powers up to 10 kW, while isolators with compensation of depolarisation and thermal lens can operate up to 100 kW.
