Abstract
We have created the first high-power Faraday isolator on an anisotropic magneto-optical element (MOE). The isolator is based on one MOE of a uniaxial crystal and ensures an isolation degree of 30 dB at a high average laser radiation power of 700 W. The limitations due to the anisotropic nature of the crystal do not impose significantly more stringent requirements, either for the beam or the MOE.
