Abstract
Abstract A multiple wavelength optical isolator provides isolation for the light characteristic of either a neodymium glass laser, 1.06 Mu m., or ruby, 0.6943 Mu m. by immersion in either liquid nitrogen or the combination of dry ice and acetone respectively. The isolator includes a piece of silicate glass doped with 58 weight percent of terbium oxide which is subjected to the field of a permanent magnet of approximately 1100 gauss parallel to the path of light in the glass. The thickness of glass in this dimension is approximately 7.7 cm.
