Optical isolation and nonreciprocal devices are pivotal components in modern photonic systems, ensuring unidirectional light propagation and safeguarding sensitive equipment from unwanted reflections.

Traditional computers are fast, but nothing like the speed of light—at 186,000 miles per second, you can crunch numbers awfully quick. That’s a big reason why optical photonics are being used for ...
