Abstract
Waveguides with gyrotropic materials are of large interest for the rea lization of optical isolators and circulators in integrated optical de vices. This paper presents a finite difference analysis of such wavegu ides. The method is applicable to both planar and rib structures. From the calculated results some guidelines for optimizing the non-recipro cal effect are derived. We propose a new geometry for an effective gyr otropic waveguide.
