Single-stage Faraday isolators, SC Series
Our LINOS® SC Series Single-stage Faraday Isolators deliver trusted results in a compact design. These single-stage Faraday Isolators are specifically engineered for effective optical isolation within the visible (VIS) to near-infrared (NIR) wavelength range, making them ideal for precision applications in research, industry, and OEM systems.
The SC Series Single-stage Faraday Isolators offer tunable performance to adjust for temperature or wavelength variations, delivering high isolation (≥33 dB, typically 38–42 dB). With an exceptionally compact form-factor, the SC Series features strong rare-earth magnets, optional high-damage-threshold polarizers, and flexible M2 mounting. Additionally, customization options are available, including Brewster polarizers and non-standard wavelengths.
