Applied Optics

Applied Optics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Optica three times a month. Optical circulator and Applied Optics are optics stubs.

See Optical circulator and Applied Optics

Chirality

Chirality is a property of asymmetry important in several branches of science.

See Optical circulator and Chirality

In electrical engineering, a circulator is a passive, non-reciprocal three- or four-port device that only allows a microwave or radio-frequency (RF) signal to exit through the port directly after the one it entered.

See Optical circulator and Circulator

Electronics Letters

Electronics Letters is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published biweekly by the Institution of Engineering and Technology.

See Optical circulator and Electronics Letters

Faraday rotator

A Faraday rotator is a polarization rotator based on the Faraday effect, a magneto-optic effect involving transmission of light through a material when a longitudinal static magnetic field is present.

See Optical circulator and Faraday rotator

Fiber-optic communication

Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared or visible light through an optical fiber.

See Optical circulator and Fiber-optic communication

Fiber-optic sensor

A fiber-optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber either as the sensing element ("intrinsic sensors"), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals ("extrinsic sensors").
