Abstract
Photonic crystals containing defects produce enhanced Faraday rotation but existing designs have low intensity output. We show that designs with two-d efects possess sufficient freedom to attain high transmission over a large range of rotation angles in very short lengths. We optimize such systems fo r 45 degrees rotation in optical isolators.
