There are many kinds of optical isolators, but the most common is the LED/phototransistor type. Other familiar types use output elements such as light-sensitive SCRs, Triacs, FETs and ICs. The major application for these silicon-based devices is to provide electrical isolation of digital lines connected between different pieces of equipment. The principle of operation is very simple. When an input current is applied to the LED, the output phototransistor turn...
