Non-Magneto-Optic Waveguide Isolator
We report on a novel technique to realize a waveguide optical isolator without using conventional magneto-optical materials and external magnets. The simulations are repeatedly performed using Beam Propagation Method (BPM) to confirm the accuracy. The simulation results show that the forward and backward propagations reach 2.54 and 15.68 dB, respectively.
متن کاملLow-loss waveguide crossing using a multimode interference structure
A novel design technique for low-loss waveguide crossing using the self-imaging properties of multimode interference (MMI) structures is presented. The technique exploits the observation that optical fields with a small 1/e width relative to that of the MMI structure in the image reformed region experience negligible propagation loss even in the absence of lateral guiding mechanism around the r...
متن کاملA multimode interference polymer-silica hybrid waveguide 2×2 thermo-optic switch
A polymer-silica hybrid 2×2 thermo-optic switch is demonstrated. The top cladding and core layer are composed of polymers, while the bottom cladding is made of silica. Since polymer and silica have opposite signs of thermo-optic coefficients, the change of the refractive index of the core is opposite to that of the bottom cladding as the temperature increased. With the finite difference beam pr...
متن کاملA Broadband Waveguide Thermal Isolator
This paper describes a new, compact, waveguide thermal isolator. The isolator is based on a recently developed microwave bandgap joint, a periodic structure which suppresses microwave fields propagating between two parallel conducting surfaces. When such a structure is placed between a pair of waveguide flanges, the flanges can be separated by a few percent of a wavelength before the leakage an...
متن کاملNonreciprocal Bloch oscillations in magneto-optic waveguide arrays.
We show that nonreciprocal optical Bloch-like oscillations can emerge in transversely magnetized waveguide arrays in the presence of an effective index step between the waveguides. Normal modes of the system are shown to acquire different wavenumbers in opposite propagation directions. Significant differences in phase coherence and decoherence between these normal modes are presented and discus...
