An isolator transmits light in the forward direction and blocks light from passing in the reverse direction. It is regarded an essential optical component in medical, industrial, and research lasers for blocking reflection beams that cause optical damage and noise. It is also used as a communicative light intensifier to expand the lifespan of devices and enhance transmission quality. This study analyzed the characteristics of the core components in the construction of a polarization-independent isolator, namely, the walk-off polarizer and the Faraday rotator. Measurement of the extinction ratio of the resultant walk-off polarizer revealed that the ratio between the vertical and horizontal rays was 1,050:1 with a laser output of 0.032 W and 1,010:1 with a laser output of 2.68 W, thus presenting ratios similar to 1,000:1. In addition, the walk-off polarizer and Faraday rotator constructed in this study were used to compare output changes according to changes in power of input light and to check the penetration ratio. Results from the study presented variations in output value according to changes in power of input light. However, the average penetration ratio remained relatively consistent (~81.4%).

A Faraday rotator is designed with the HOYA FR-5 rotator glass. We find that traveling light rotates 45$^{\circ}$in the glass when magnetic field intensity is about 3.0$\times$105AT/m. The current of 2.7KA flowing in the coil of the 0cm diameter, 29cm long and 41 windings generates this magnetic field. A pulse forming network is designed for this current of 84 sec duration. The network is analyzed numerically to find the relevant circuit parameters for the flattest current waveform.

A novel interferometric isolator has been proposed and designed to fabrticate waveguide magnetooptic isolator operating at a wavelength of $1.55{\cal}um$. The device consists of MMI (multimode interference) couplers and has a magnetooptic guiding layer with different layer structure in arms of the inteferometer. The layer structures in the arms of inteferometer are $HfO_2/CeY_2Fe_5O_{12}/NOG$ and $SiO_2/CeY_2Fe_5O_{12}/NOG$, respectively. This configuration give rise to different nonreciprocal phase shift. In consequence, the isolator operates under a unidirectional magnetic field. The optimized structure of the isolator was determined by a 3D beam propagation method.

We have constructed a disp1acerrent sensor for measuring dynamic magnetostriction of an arrvrphous ribbon under alternating magnetic field using fiber optic Fabry-Perot interferorreter. The signal of the sensor was depen¬dent on the index matching oil and the optical isolator. The resolution of the sensor was $30{\AA}$ and the measured peak to peak magnetostriction of the amorphous ribbon $Fe_{81}B_{13.5}Si_{3.5}C_{2}$ was $28{\times}10^{-6}$.

Pointing stability of high precision observation satellites must satisfy the stringent requirements to perform at a designed level. As even a small vibrational disturbance can result in severe degradation of the optical performance, the effects of inorbit vibrational environment on the performance of optical payload must be predicted and analyzed in the design phase in order to ensure that the requirements imposed on the payload are fully met. In this paper, an integrated framework for the evaluation of the performance of optical payloads is developed. The developed simulation tool comprises of the reaction wheel induced disturbance model, state space model of a structure in modal form and Cassegrain reflector model. The performance degradation of the optical system due to jitter is expressed by using modulation transfer function (MTF) and image simulation. Moreover, vibration isolator model is also added to show the effectiveness of using a vibration isolator for the elimination of the effects of jitter in the acquisition of an image.

As the rotational speed of optical disk drive is increasing nowadays, the reliability to vibration and shock becomes more important. For this, various of rubber vibration isolators are being developed by varying the shape and hardness. But it is difficult for the hardness of common used rubber to be lowered below Duro 30 degrees, and because of the shape complexity of rubber vibration isolator there are difficulties of analysis. Microcellular foamed vibration isolator has various cell densities and cell sizes, so it can vary the stiffness and damping coefficient. In addition, its hardness can be lowered below Duro 30 degrees. Axiomatic Approach is very useful design method for designing new product or new process. Axiomatic Approach's character is scientific and analytical method. In this paper, developing process of microcellular foamed vibration isolator for DVD is presented with Axiomatic Approach.

Observation satellites carrying high precision optical payload require extremely stringent pointing stability that may be violated in the presence of the disturbances corning from reaction wheels, cryocoolers or other actuating components onboard the satellite. The most common method to protect the sensitive payloads from external disturbances is implementation of vibration isolator. In this paper development of a single axis active vibration isolator using electromagnet and its performance in isolating micro-vibration is presented. The main components of the developed isolator are membrane structure providing the isolator with the required stiffness and an electromagnet for active control. The performance test results show that additional damping can be achieved by active control without degrading isolation performance in high frequency region and that the developed isolator can effectively isolate micro-vibration.

EDFA의 이득(gain)과 잡음지수(noise figure)는 매우 중요한 특성 중의 하나이다. 전송 시스템에서 필연적으로 발생하는 ASE 잡음을 제거하는 것이 중요하다. EDFA의 중간에 필터(filter)와 아이솔레이터(isolator)를 삽입하여 불필요한 ASE를 제거함으로써 이득과 잡음지수를 향상시킬 수 있으며, 기존의 단일경로(single-pass) EDFA에서 필터의 위치가 40-60％ 근처에서 이득과 잡음지수 향상이 가장 크게 된다. 그러나, 거울(mirror)을 사용하여 증폭 효율을 높인 이중경로(double-pass) EDFA에서 필터에 의한 이득 향상에 관한 연구발표는 아직까지 없다.
