Abstract
A new configuration of an optical isolator chip, which is suitable for use in integrated in-line optical isolators, has been proposed. The c hip consists of a birefringent plate, a pair of birefringent wedges, a nd a Faraday rotator. The configuration makes the best use of transmis sion characteristics of expanded-core fibers in which the chip is embe dded. The measured insertion Loss and isolation of an assembled isolat or at the wavelength 1.55 mu m are 0.8- and 33-dB, respectively.
