Integrated Magneto-Optical Devices for On-Chip Photonic Systems

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD1039146 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The objective of this program was to develop magneto-optical MO materials to enable nonreciprocal optical devices for the emerging standardized photonic integrated circuit PIC fabrication processes that include a range of optical and radio frequency RF photonic devices such as low-loss interconnect waveguides, power splitters, filters, as well as active amplifiers, lasers, optical modulators and photodetectors. Designs were made for resonator and Mach-Zehnder interferometer MZI isolator devices based on optical modeling, for both transverse-electric TE and transverse-magnetic TM polarization.
