Optical Isolators for Photonic Integrated Circuits

With the advance of mature fabrication technologies, photonic integrated circuits (PICs) reach ever-higher levels of complexity. Integration of thousands of components has been shown [1], with each main technology showing an exponential growth in complexity [2]. This increase in complexity requires a convergence in technologies, and the roadmaps are currently being pushed by silicon nitride, (h...
