An alternative design of crystal type multi-port optical quasi-circulator is proposed. A prototype of 6-port optical quasi-circulator was fabricated and tested with insertion losses of about 1.93 dB and isolations of about 49.5 dB.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
