Talk:Faraday isolator

According to the link it is also possible to isolate unpolarized light.

what exactly does it mean when you say "can provide non-reciprocal rotation while maintaining linear polarization". And perhaps provide an explanation of why a 1/4 waveplate can't maintain linear polarization in this manner. (just a thought) Whoopsi 01:06, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

1/4 rotation by sugar-water-solution can maintain linear polarization (optical activity). --Arnero 21:31, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

This needs diagrams. — Omegatron 01:53, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

The Faraday isolators I have used all have very strong magnets in them. Why is that? Needs explaining!
