title: Simple, compact, high-performance permanent-magnet Faraday isolator.
abstract: The design of a Faraday isolator that uses a short glass rotator rod and produces highly uniform rotation across its clear aperture is presented. The rotator rod is 19.5 mm long, and at a wavelength of 633 nm the rotation angle is 45 deg and the isolation ratio is >45 dB.
