In recent 30 years, fiber optical rotary joints (FORJ) technology has made great progress. The mainly function and recent development of FORJs are reviewed. The principles and technologies of Dove prism, wave division multiplex (WDM) and K reflective mirror despunning are introduced. Property comparison of the three mentioned technologies are also presented. At last, the potential applications of FORJs are listed.
