YIG Platform
Main Advantages
Magneto-optical insulation:
MO targeted performance
- 30 dB optical insulation
- Compact footprint
- Wideband operation
- On-chip integration
- TE and TM mode operation
Integration and scalability
- Passive operation
- Direct growth of the magnetic material (substituted YIG)
- Integrated magnetic field bias elements
- Mach-Zehnder and ring-resonator design
Wide bandwidth operation design
- Up to 10 nm bandwidth at 350 nm and 1450 nm
- Low propagation losses < 1 dB /cm
Cost-effective approach
- Minimise the number of process steps by co-integration
- Increase compatibility and simplify the design of co-integrated process steps by reducing optical cross-talks
PATTERN will explore two different approaches to achieve magneto-optical insulation with TE-mode waveguides:
