ABSTRACT:
A magneto-optical switch includes a first birefringent crystal configured to receive a light beam, a first half-wave compensator plate pair configured to receive split light beams from the birefringent crystal, a first Faraday rotator configured to receive the split light beams from the first half-wave compensator plate pair, and a beam splitter configured to receive the split light beam from the Faraday rotator. The first Faraday rotator is configured to change the polarization of a light beam passing through the first Faraday rotator.
