Abstract

One of the most prominent classes of non-reciprocal devices relies upon the effect of non-reciprocal polarization conversion, such as those observed in Faraday isolators. This effect is usually achieved with the use of magneto-optical materials. Here, we introduce a waveguide type optical isolator based on non-reciprocal polarization conversion, without the use of magneto-optical materials. Our isolator is based on spatial-temporal dynamic refractive index modulation, which is more readily amenable for on-chip integration. We numerically demonstrate our design with both first-principle multi-frequency electromagnetic simulations and the vectorial coupled mode theory formalism.

Figures (6)

Fig. 1.
Fig. 1. (a) Optical isolator design. The blue region represents a static waveguide. The dark shaded regions are modulated regions. Only one quadrant of the waveguide is uniformly modulated for each modulated region. (b) In the forward propagation, an optical wave in the TE mode is injected from the left side, and it remains in the same TE mode after passing through the device. (c) In the backward propagation, an optical wave in the TE mode is injected from the right side. After passing through the device, it is fully converted into the TM mode.
Fig. 2.
Fig. 2. (a) Band structures of the TE/TM mode. The dielectric waveguide has a static relative permittivity $\epsilon _r = 12.25$. The width and height of the rectangular waveguide is $d_x = 0.6~\mu$m and $d_y = 0.3~\mu$m respectively. The interferometric region has the same height but a different width $d_c = 0.7~\mu$m. The solid lines represent the waveguide band structure in the modulated regions and the dash lines represent the band structure of the interferometric region. (b) Electric field distribution of the fundamental TE mode in the $x-y$ plane. (c) Electric field distribution of the lowest-order TM mode in the $x-y$ plane.
Fig. 3.
Fig. 3. (a) The $z$-component electric field distribution for TE mode. The dimensions and permittivity of the square waveguide are the same as those in Fig. 2. (b) The $z$-component electric field distribution for TM mode. (c) The mode overlap between the $z$-component electric field for the TE and TM modes. (d) An ideal modulation profile based on the mode overlap between the TE and TM modes. The first and third quadrants have the opposite sign to the second and fourth quadrants in order.
Fig. 4.
Fig. 4. The comparisons between the vectorial coupled mode theory and FEM numerical simulation. The circles in plots (a) and (b) represent the simulation results and the solid lines are from the vectorial coupled mode theory. (a) The photon flux of TE and TM modes as a function of propagation distance for the forward propagation. (b) The photon flux of TE and TM modes as a function of propagation distance for the backward propagation.
Fig. 5.
Fig. 5. The vectorial coupled mode theory analysis for the LiNbO$_3$ modulator based design. (a) The photon flux of TE and TM modes as a function of propagation distance for the forward propagation. (b) The photon flux of TE and TM modes as a function of propagation distance for the backward propagation.
Fig. 6.
Fig. 6. (a) Band structures for devices with different width perturbation. (b) The isolation ratio for devices under width perturbation. The target design has the width of 605 nm, working at the input frequency around 193.410 THz. The figure shows the isolation ratio if the fabrication deviates from the target design by 1 nm.
