Faraday rotation in coiled, monomode optical fibres: isolators, filters and magnetic sensors

It is shown that efficient Faraday rotation can be obtained in a fiber coil if the circumference of the coil is exactly equal to the beat length of the birefringence caused by bending. The essential elements of a practical, compact isolator based on this principle are demonstrated. Forty-five degree...
