Abstract

In this paper, we have designed, optimized and simulated the magneto-optic Mach-Zehnder isolator. The waveguide isolator is based on a nonreciprocal phase shift in the magneto-optic branch of the MZ isolator. We have used the finite difference beam propagation method for numerical solution of the scalar wave equation. We have also used the transparent boundary condition. The propagation constant has been achieved by using the effective index method. We have calculated the design parameters to decrease the insertion loss in the forward direction and increase return loss in the backward direction and achieved a 40 dB isolation ratio.
