FA-I/R (High Power Faraday Isolators / Rotators)
Optimized for multi-100W to kW laser systems
Our Faraday rotators and isolators are designed for laser systems operating in the multi-100 W to kW power range at 1030 nm and 1064 nm. A key feature is the direct soldered connection of the crystal barrel surface (KTF or TGG) to a water-cooled heatsink, realized using a flux-free soldering process. This enables highly efficient thermal management and minimal thermal shift, even at highest optical loads. Thanks to our proprietary magnetic field design and the use of soldering technology, we offer stable, high-performance solutions for applications where standard components are no longer sufficient.
