  • Abstract
    An optical isolator is fabricated for silicon-on-insulator circuits. The isolator, which employs a nonreciprocal phase shift in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, is fabricated by directly bonding a magneto-optic garnet on a Si waveguide. A maximum isolation of 21 dB is obtained at 1559 nm.
