A new addition to the Edmund Optics lineup—engineered to deliver high isolation in a SWaP-optimized footprint.
Barrington, USA, April 22, 2025: Edmund Optics® announces the release of its new Mini Free-Space Optical Isolators, offering powerful laser protection in an exceptionally compact footprint. Engineered for applications where space, weight, and power (SWaP) are limited, these isolators are ideal for ultrafast and continuous-wave lasers in aerospace, quantum, or research systems.
At just ~Ø10mm x 10.5mm in size, these miniature isolators deliver high isolation without compromising forward transmission—helping maintain laser stability by blocking disruptive back-reflected light. This ensures clean mode-locking, reduced jitter, and consistent power output, even in the most space-constrained environments.
Unlike traditional benchtop designs, Edmund Optics’ isolators are integration-ready, making them perfect for embedded systems and production modules. With Edmund Optics’ globally trusted inventory and support, engineers can confidently design for scale.
Mini size, major impact—these isolators redefine what’s possible for compact laser systems.
