Abstract

A magneto-optical isolator is demonstrated for use with a Si waveguide. The isolator is based on a Mach–Zehnder interferometer employing a nonreciprocal phase shift and is fabricated by bonding a magneto-optic garnet CeY2Fe5O12 (Ce:YIG) directly onto the Si waveguide. The surface-activated bonding i...
