摘要：
Resonator-based optical circulators are fundamentally bandwidth-limited by their quality factors. We propose a new type of circulator based on directional coupling between one-way photonic chiral edge states and conventional two-way waveguides. The operational bandwidth of such circulators is tied to the bandwidth of the directional waveguide coupler and has the potential for simultaneous broadband operation and small device footprint.
