Abstract

The invention provides a three-port optical circulator with an isolation function. The three-port optical circulator with the isolation function comprises a light-splitting assembly, a half-wave plate and a Faraday rotation plate of 45 degrees. The light-splitting assembly comprises a first light-splitting assembly body and a second light-splitting assembly body. The half-wave plate comprises a first half-wave plate body and a second half-wave plate body. The optical circulator further comprises a wedge angle plate which adheres to the Faraday rotation plate of 45 degrees through adhesive. Due to the fact that the wedge angle plate is arranged, reflection light in a second light path is finally output by a third port, crosstalk influences on a second port by the reflection light are reduced, and the isolation degree of the optical circulator is increased.
