    Optical circulators use the Faraday Effect. A magnetic field changes how light moves, controlling its flow and improving system performance. Picking between polarization-dependent or independent circulators depends on your needs. This means that if light enters port 1 it is emitted from port 2, but if some of the emitted light is reflected back to the circulator, it does not come out of port 1 but. Faraday circulators (or less specifically optical circulators) are a kind of non-reciprocal optical devices.
