| Abstract |
We report on the design and experimental results of a large diameter faraday rotator for the high-power laser system(KLF: Kaeri laser facility) that was completed in late 2007s at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. The design involves modelling the magnetic field of cylindrical coil with large diameter(110 mm). Magnetic field generation coil is designed by 6 layers using a rectangular wire with cross-sectional area 3×5[mm^2]. We obtain an isolation ratio for optical feedback of 35 dB at 1064 nm and magnetic field strengths ~25kG. We expect that the design can be widely used optical isolators in high-power laser system. |
