Article Abstract
Optical isolators are important components in fiber optic communication and sensing systems. Conventional optical isolators, including bulk and in-line fiber types, mainly rely on the Faraday rotation effect and require external magnetic fields, which result in structural complexity and integration challenges. In this paper, a fiber-type optical isolator based on magneto-optic photonic crystal fiber (MO-PCF) is proposed, which utilizes non-reciprocal phase shifts (NRPS) in a Mach-Zehnder configuration. The full-vector finite element method (FV-FEM) is used to analyze the transmission characteristics. In the proposed isolator, the PCF cores are filled with magnetic and non-magnetic materials, to enhance the non-reciprocity of light by applying a magnetic field perpendicular to the polarization direction and propagation direction. Based on these analyses, the designed MO-PCF structure achieves a NRPS per wavenumber of 0.863 × 10 rad/μm. In the optical isolator, the coupling length is 612.3 μm, ensuring the function of an optical isolator.

CdMnTe (CMT) is a promising magneto-optical (MO) material for the visible to near-infrared region with a tunable bandgap via manganese (Mn) doping. Although CMT has been extensively studied, the solid solubility limit of Mn in CdTe (cadmium telluride) remains unclear, and the growth of high-Mn-content single crystals has not yet been reported in detail. In this work, the Mn solubility limit in CdTe was determined to be = 0.

Such a device will enable polarization optical isolation which, in the first approximation, will be insensitive to the small perturbations of permittivity, leading to linear birefringence in the magneto-optical element. This approach is promising for isolators for short-wave radiation, powerful radiation, large-aperture isolators, as well as for isolators with high requirements for the isolation ratio.

The experimental results show that the bottleneck effect of the V-T process limits the high-frequency isolation performance of a static gas. By optimizing the gas flow velocity, and and buffer gas pressure, the small-signal isolation degree of the saturable absorption isolator is 15 dB, the main pulse insertion loss is less than 10%, and the isolation recovery time is about 100 ns.

Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) increasingly require more advanced integrated functionalities and devices to meet the key application challenges. This evolution with the serial integration of optical functions in the same photonic circuit often results in internal reflections and optical feedback, which can specifically destabilize lasers. One solution to overcome this issue is to integrate an optical isolator at the output of the lasers.
