摘要：
Photonic transitions in waveguides can create nonreciprocal phase response for counterpropagating modes. Such effect can be used in Mach-Zehnder interferometers to form optical isolators and circulators. Performance of such device is analyzed using coupled mode theory given the experimentally available modulation in silicon. The proposed scheme can provide a broadband (>0.8 THz), high contrast ratio (>20 dB) optical isolation at telecommunication wavelength.
