Low-loss, InP-based integrated optical isolators

We discuss the development of a monolithically integratable optical isolator. The device is a semiconductor optical amplifier with a magnetized ferromagnetic metal contact. 12.7 dB of isolation combined with optical transparency has been demonstrated.
