Abstract

We have designed a high-speed rotating mirror isolator, which is basically contained by a rotating mirror and a spatial filter. The incident ray is reflected by the rotating mirror and scans an input lens. Only the main pulses can get through the hole at the optical focus to the output lens of the spatial filter. The optical system has been carefully designed, so the output ray from the isolator is restored and is as static as the incident ray.
