Scattering parameters of a non-reciprocal magneto-optical integrated coupler used as an isolator
نویسندگان
چکیده
We theoretically investigate a non-reciprocal magneto-optical integrated slab directional coupler. The scattering parameters of the structure are derived in frame Coupled-Mode Theory (CMT). By properly designing coupler, it is possible to achieve perfect non-reciprocity (with 100% contrast) between two directions propagation. Other operating points can also be defined, especially since modal dispersion spectral domain naturally taken into consideration.

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 کاملInvestigation of non-reciprocal magneto-plasmonic waveguides for compact integrated optical isolators on silicon
Introduction Creating compact on-chip non-reciprocal components is of fundamental interest in integrated optics at telecom wavelength of 1.55 μm. Today a lot of integrated functions are available commercially such as lasers, couplers, filters, modulators, but there is a lack of non-reciprocal integrated functions like optical isolators and circulators. Commercial optical isolators are expensive...
متن کاملMagneto-optical non-reciprocal devices in silicon photonics
Silicon waveguide optical non-reciprocal devices based on the magneto-optical effect are reviewed. The non-reciprocal phase shift caused by the first-order magneto-optical effect is effective in realizing optical non-reciprocal devices in silicon waveguide platforms. In a silicon-on-insulator waveguide, the low refractive index of the buried oxide layer enhances the magneto-optical phase shift,...
متن کاملIntegrated-optical directional coupler biosensor.
We present measurements of biomolecular binding reactions, using a new type of integrated-optical biosensor based on a planar directional coupler structure. The device is fabricated by Ag(+) - Na(+) ion exchange in glass, and definition of the sensing region is achieved by use of transparent fluoropolymer isolation layers formed by thermal evaporation. The suitability of the sensor for applicat...
متن کاملThe Beam Propagation Method Used for the Design of an Integrated Optical Coupler
The beam propagation method (BPM) used for the design of an integrated optical (IO) coupler was proposed in this paper. A modal of the IO coupler was set up in BeamPROP software that is based on the BPM, and then the modes and the bi-directional propagation in the proposed coupler were investigated. Finally, the structure and dimension of the coupler was determined.
