Multiple-port integrated optical circulators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a path towards reconfigurable, electrically driven and integrated multiple-port optical circulators. Using this novel device architecture, we demonstrate a six-port circulator with 14.4 dB of isolation between adjacent ports, and four different working configurations. It can be straightforwardly expanded to larger port counts. Keywords—Optical isolators, optical circulators, magneto-optic devices, Faraday rotation

Integrated TE and TM optical circulators on ultra-low-loss silicon nitride platform.
In this paper, we present two four-port optical circulators for TE and TM modes, respectively. Exploiting the recent technological development concerning Ce:YIG pulse laser deposition on silicon nitride platform, we design two integrated circulators, which can be used to implement several functions in integrated optics, such as de-interleavers, input/output amplifier isolators and output laser ...
متن کاملOn-chip passive three-port circuit of all-optical ordered-route transmission
On-chip photonic circuits of different specific functions are highly desirable and becoming significant demands in all-optical communication network. Especially, the function to control the transmission directions of the optical signals in integrated circuits is a fundamental research. Previous schemes, such as on-chip optical circulators, are mostly realized by Faraday effect which suffers fro...
متن کاملTunable fibre Bragg grating based optical cross connects using multi-port optical circulators: structure and crosstalk analyses
Tunable fibre Bragg grating (FBG)-based reconfigureably non-blocking optical cross connect (OXC) using multi-port optical circulators (MOCs) are proposed and presented. In an FBG–MOC-based OXC, system insertion loss, system differential insertion loss together with OXC dimensions have been analysed and compared with FBG–OC-based OXC structure using three-port optical circulators (OCs). Optical ...
متن کاملIntegrated metal magnetic film coupled line circulators for monolithic microwave integrated circuits
A new structure of integrated planar metal magnetic film coupled line (MMFCL) circulators is presented, in which a metal magnetic film is used instead of ferrite materials. Simulation was performed with HFSS based on coupled-mode theory. An insertion loss of 4 dB and isolation of 13.5 dB between S21 and S12 over a frequency band of 3 GHz (from 36.5 to 39.5 GHz) were realised for a three-port MM...
متن کاملHighly Compact Circulators in Square-Lattice Photonic Crystal Waveguides
We propose, demonstrate and investigate highly compact circulators with ultra-low insertion loss in square-lattice- square-rod-photonic-crystal waveguides. Only a single magneto- optical square rod is required to be inserted into the cross center of waveguides, making the structure very compact and ultra efficient. The square rods around the center defect rod are replaced by several right-angle...
