Abstract
<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> By implanting nonreciprocal phase shifts (NPS) into a ring-coupled Mach–Zehnder interferometer (RCMZI) structure, wavelength-selective isolation can be obtained over a wideband range. Different transmission lineshapes and structures of the nonreciprocal RCMZI were examined to meet the requirements of multiwavelength usage. It was demonstrated that a multiwavelength isolation with wideband and high-peak isolation could be achieved with just a reciprocal ring-coupled arm and a nonreciprocal linear arm in a MZI structure. For 5% ring loss per loop, the ring power coupling ratio <formula formulatype="inline"><tex>$\kappa$</tex> </formula> has a tolerance of 0.06 to keep the 30-dB isolation band wider than 0.3 <formula formulatype="inline"><tex>$\times$</tex></formula> FSR. Also, an isolator over C-band was designed to verify the feasibility and discuss the wavelength-dependence issues. </para>
