Abstract :
A novel radiative optical isolator and a circulator are discussed in this paper. It is numerically estimated that with λ=1.3 μm, 45-dB isolation ran be achieved with an isolator of 8 mm in length. For a 21.5-mm-long 4-port circulator, the achievable isolation is about 45 dB, with approximately 1-dB insertion loss
