A new structure of magneto-optic cylindrical plasmonic isolator
摘要
This article investigates the propagation characteristics of magneto-optic cylindrical waveguides, focusing on their potential for developing optical isolators through the distinct propagation behaviors in forward and backward directions. By analyzing the interaction of light with magneto-optic materials, it is shown how intrinsic asymmetry can be utilized to achieve effective isolation. A modified cylindrical waveguide structure is proposed, which enhances isolation performance, achieving an isolation ratio of 12 dB with an insertion loss of 3.8 dB at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The results provide deeper insight into the mechanisms governing wave propagation in magneto-optic systems and pave the way for practical implementations in optical communication and signal processing. This work highlights the potential of custom-engineered cylindrical waveguides for advancing magneto-optical device technologies.
