Abstract
We investigate a structure consisting of a magneto-optic multimode waveguid e and two monomode waveguides serving as in- and outlets. Thc geometrical d imensions of the multimode waveguide can be adjusted such that the guided m odes interfere constructively in forward direction and destructively for ba ckward propagation. In this paper we present concepts for a circulator and two isolators based on multimode imaging.
