Abstract:
In this talk, I will describe how nonlinear optics can be used to generate passive optical isolators – filling a critical gap in integrated photonic infrastructure. Using the optical Kerr effect in high quality factor silicon nitride resonators, we demonstrate simultaneous optical isolation and laser linewidth reduction in excess of 30dB.
