Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A high extinction-ratio rotator includes a collimator that can collimate a signal light from an optical fiber, a pair of polarizing splitting prisms that include a first birefringence crystal wedge and a second birefringent crystal wedge, that can separate two orthogonal polarization components of the signal light into a vertically polarized light and a horizontally polarized light, a non-reciprocal 45-degree polarization rotator which the vertically polarized light and the horizontally polarized light exiting the pair of polarizing splitting prisms pass through, and a reflector. The vertically polarized light and the horizontally polarized light exiting the non-reciprocal 45-degree polarization rotator intersect on a surface of the reflector and are reflected back into the non-reciprocal 45-degree polarization rotator.
