Abstract
Designed is a threeport and threeopticalpath optical circulator with compact structure, low loss and wide broadband. The circulator is composed of a Yshaped photonic crystal waveguide and a star column of magnetooptical material arranged at the center of the waveguide. By optimizing the structure parameters, the structure can realize stable unidirectional circular transmission in a wide frequency range of 194~196GHz, 198.2~199.4GHz and 197~197.6GHz, respectively for the three light paths. The isolation degree is higher than 24, 15.21 and 14.5dB, and the insertion loss is less than 0.18, 0.11 and 0.38dB, respectively. The circulator with simple structure is suitable for photonic integrated system, and it is helpful to improve the antiinterference and stability of the optical path.
