Schematic diagram of an opto-isolator showing source of light (LED) on the left, dielectric barrier in the center, and sensor (phototransistor) on the right [note 1]. An opto-isolator (also called an optocoupler, photocoupler, or optical isolator) is an electronic component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using light. [1]
A schematic pinout of an extremely simple opto-isolator device. Often diode and transistor protection and/or amplification will be added. The dashed line in the centre represents to isolation barrer, over which no electrical contact can be permitted.

Figure 1: The optical circuit symbol for an isolator Faraday effect. The main component of the optical isolator is the Faraday rotator. The magnetic field, , applied to the Faraday rotator causes a rotation in the polarization of the light due to the Faraday effect. The angle of rotation, , is given by,
Opto-isolator VTL2C1 with LED input and photoresistor output. Resistive opto-isolator (RO), also called photoresistive opto-isolator, vactrol (after a genericized trademark introduced by Vactec, Inc. in the 1960s), analog opto-isolator [notes 1] or lamp-coupled photocell, [1] is an optoelectronic device consisting of a source and detector of light, which are optically coupled and electrically ...
