This paper proposes and designs a low-loss hexagonal six-port optical circulator using silicon photonic crystals, achieving high isolation and low insertion loss, making it suitable for optical communication systems.
Summary
This paper designs and proposes a low-loss hexagonal six-port optical circulator using silicon photonic crystals. This design achieves high isolation (38.7 dB) and low insertion loss (0.0029 dB), making it highly suitable for applications in optical communication systems, wavelength division multiplexing, and photonic integrated circuits. The circulator helps protect signal sources from unwanted reflections by isolating input and output signals.
