The 5 pages that link to Optical isolator, each with the reason it gives.

• Jones calculusRelated: Its polarization elements can be analyzed as a sequence of Jones transformations.

• Faraday effectBroader topic: Its polarization rotation exploits Faraday nonreciprocity to block reflected light.

• Magneto-optic effectRelated: Faraday rotation lets isolators separate forward and backward beams.

• Optical filterCompared with: An isolator controls propagation direction, not a chosen spectral band.

• Optical windowCompared with: An isolator controls propagation direction, unlike a window’s passive protective role.
