Optical beams traveling in a singlemode fiber experience random birefringence, which could make it difficult or impossible
for fiberoptic Michelson interferometer to function properly. Faraday rotator mirrors take the output beam from a
singlemode fiber and rotate the polarization by 90 degrees before sending it back through the same fiber.
By doing so, a Faraday mirror functions as a phase conjugate mirror and cancels out any birefringent effects the beam
experienced along the forward path.
Princetel's FRM series Faraday rotator mirrors offer strong suppression against secondary reflections (-55 dB), a feature critical to
most interferometer applications.
