Optical isolators are indispensable components of almost any optical system and are used to protect a laser from unwanted reflections for phase-stable coherent operation. The emergence of chip-scale ...

A research team from Tohoku University and Kyocera Corp. has developed a new magneto-optical material—a nanocomposite magnetic garnet film—that can be deposited directly onto silicon substrates while ...

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 ...
