The method described above has the disadvantage that the assembly and adjustment steps are increased because the assembly of the non-reciprocal element and the coupling between the fibers are performed in separate steps. Specifically, the adjustment of the non-reciprocal element 15 is performed by rotating one polarizer relative to the other polarizer, as shown by the arrow R in FIG. 3, and the coupling adjustment between the fibers is performed by rotating both lenses. The calculation is performed on three axes as shown by the coordinates X, Y, and Z in FIG. For this reason, an increase in assembly and adjustment costs is unavoidable.

The basic operation of the optical isolator of the present invention is as follows:
This is exactly the same as the optical isolator of the conventional structure. If one of the two polarizers 14 functions as a polarizer in a narrow sense, the other functions as an analyzer. In the forward direction, light entering from the first (one) fiber is transmitted to the second (other) fiber.
Outputs directly from the fiber, but in the opposite direction, the second
The light input from the first fiber is not output from the first fiber. In other words, non-reciprocal operation is performed. This allows the light output from the laser light source to be output to the optical transmission path, but it is possible to prevent reflected light from returning to the laser light source.

The ferrule 24 is rotated and moved in and out relative to the cylindrical holder 20 to adjust the amount of light passing in the forward direction to be maximum. This creates a connection between the fibers. Further, the cylindrical holder 20 is rotated relative to the optical isolator housing 30 to adjust the isolation to be maximum. In this way, the non-reciprocal element section is assembled. The ferrule 24 and the cylindrical holder 20 are fixed, and the cylindrical holder 20 and the optical isolator housing 30 are fixed by adhesion, welding, press-fitting, etc. depending on the material. In other words, the present invention has a structure in which the assembly of the non-reciprocal element portion and the coupling between fibers can be performed simultaneously.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fiber end face at the tip of the ferrule is polished obliquely. The angle of inclination is such that the amount of deviation from the central axis of the optical path spatially propagating in the non-reciprocal element portion can be exactly offset. This oblique polishing also reduces reflection within the optical isolator itself.
