Faraday Rotator Glass has been used in manufacturing of faraday rotational components based on Faraday character of the polarization plane, such as Optical Isolator, Circulator, Magneto-optical modulator, fast Optical Switches, Interleavers, Laser gyroscopes, Goniometric devices, magneto-optic storage and optical information process system, current measuring transducers by magnetic field measuring and high-voltage transmission line, new generation current sensors, wave guides, free space light control, satellite survey and other functional devices.
Bluebean Optical provide two types of faraday rotator glasses-TG20 and TG27.
