Complete optical on-chip isolation based on asymmetric stimulated Raman gain/loss

Opt Lett. 2012 Feb 15;37(4):674-6. doi: 10.1364/OL.37.000674.

Abstract

In this Letter, we suggest an on-chip integrated isolator based on an add-drop filter with unidirectional Raman-induced gain (or loss). For the steady state, complete one-way propagation for monochromatic signals is realized in the bus waveguide. For transient transmission, the burr is suppressed. And the power consumption is reduced by enhancing the Q factor of the resonator at the control frequency.
