Photop Technologies, Inc., a leading photonic designer & integrated manufacturer on optical components & modules for optical communications and photonics industry, announced its innovative Free Space Isolator (FSI). With Photop's expertise on free space micro-optical technology, this cutting edge Free Space Isolator allows the forward lights with specific polarizing directions to pass through it, but "isolates" the randomly polarized backward light by the polarization walk-off. The new Free Space Isolator features high isolation and proves significant cost advantage to replace the traditional FSI.

This innovative FSI is a breakthrough in Free Space Isolator by using Photop's proprietary technology, while it is also environmentally stable, RoHS compliant, and cost competitive. This new FSI is patent granted in China and patent pending in US for its innovative crystal-based technology. High power free space isolator is in development at Photop.

The new Free Space Isolator is ideal to be embedded in Optical Transmitters for FTTx with GPON and EPON platform, as well as for application of Pump Lasers.

Photop will demonstrate its innovative Free Space Isolator and other latest products, and provide technical & customer services at the CIOE 2009 show (Booth: 552), Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center, China, Date: 06 - 09, Sept., 2009.
