Optical Isolator for TE Polarized Light Realized by Adhesive Bonding of Ce:YIG on Silicon-on-Insulator Waveguide Circuits

An optical isolator for transverse electric (TE) polarized light is demonstrated by adhesive bonding of a ferrimagnetic garnet die on top of a 380 nm thick silicon waveguide circuit. Polarization rotators are implemented in the arms of a nonreciprocal Mach-Zehnder interferometer to rotate the polari...
