Reconfigurable integrated-optics-based non-reciprocal devices

Reconfigurable non-reciprocal integrated-optics-based devices are disclosed. The non-reciprocal devices include: a phase-sensitive device, such as a microring waveguide; a magneto-optic layer; and an electromagnet. These elements are operatively coupled such that a magnetic field generated by current flow through the electromagnet gives rise to a non-reciprocal phase shift in the phase-sensitive device. The non-reciprocal phase shift leads to a difference in the way that a light signal travels in the forward and backward directions through one or more bus waveguides that are operatively coupled with the phase-sensitive element. The non-reciprocity is reversible by reversing the direction of drive current flow in the electromagnet, which enables the inter-port connectivity of the ports of these bus waveguides to be reconfigured based on the direction of the drive current flow. Examples of reconfigurable isolator and circulator embodiments are described.
