ABSTRACT:
A non-reciprocal component element for integrated optics characterized by a substrate having a pair of waveguides disposed thereon either in a stacked relationship or a closely spaced side-by-side relationship with one of the pair of waveguides being of a magneto-optic material having an index of refraction greater than the index of refraction of the substrate. The component has a magnetic field extending in the plane of the waveguides and perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the waves therein. The component is preferably provided with a pair of 3dB couplers and in one embodiment, the magnetic field is controllable so that the element acts as a modulator.
