Abstract:The integrated optical diodes have been a thriving research theme due to their potential on-chip applications in photonic circuits for all-optical computing and information processing. Analogous to electronic counterparts, the unidirectional light propagation is characterized by the high contrast between forward and backward transmissions. In this chapter, we demonstrate the proposed schemes and designs for reciprocal and nonreciprocal optical diodes based on two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PhC). The re… Show more
