Broadband circulators based on directional coupling of one-way waveguides.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Resonator-based optical circulators are fundamentally bandwidth-limited by their quality factors. We propose a new type of circulator based on directional coupling between one-way photonic chiral edge states and conventional two-way waveguides. The operational bandwidth of such circulators is tied to the bandwidth of the directional waveguide coupler and has the potential for simultaneous broadband operation and small device footprint.

A novel design for all-optical NAND/NOR/XOR gates based on nonlinear directional coupler
In this paper a novel all-optical logic NAND, NOR and XOR gate based on nonlinear directional coupler theory is demonstrated. We use the identical structure which contains three waveguides, for designing these gates; the only difference however, is the power of inputs light beam. In other words, while a beam with 4 W/μm in power considered as logical one, the output is NAND gate and if a beam w...

متن کاملTheoretical Investigation on Propagation and Coupling of Nonreciprocal Electromagnetic Surface Waves
Electromagnetic wave propagation is usually reciprocal. However, in magneto-optical or gyromagnetic media, the propagation can be nonreciprocal. This effect has contributed to many important components in telecommunication systems, such as isolators and circulators. Recently, it has even been demonstrated that on the surface of magneto-optical or gyromagnetic media, electromagnetic waves can pr...
