Faraday Mirror

A property of the Faraday mirror is that at any position in the fiber, regardless of the birefringence of the fiber, the polarization state of the forward transmission light and the polarization state of the reflected light always remain orthogonal. Therefore, Faraday mirror can be used to eliminate the polarization sensitivity of optical fiber systems and eliminate the power fluctuations caused by polarization in optical fiber interferometers and optical fiber laser systems.
