Abstract
Construction, background and applications of optical nonreciprocal dev ices are discussed. Operation of optical isolators and circulators bas ed on Faraday polarization rotation is analyzed. Applications of the n onreciprocal devices for multipass amplifiers are presented. Construct ion of polarization independent circulators is discussed including an all fiber circulator and application of the circulators for fiberoptic s communications is included.
