Optical circulator

In 1965, Ribbens reported an early form of optical circulator that utilized a Nicol prism with a Faraday rotator. With the advent of fiber and guided-wave optics, waveguide-integrable and polarization-independent optical circulators were later introduced. The concept was later extended to silicon photonic waveguide systems. In 2016, Scheucher et al. have demonstrated a fiber-integrated optical circulator whose nonreciprocal behavior originated from the chiral interaction between a single Rb atom and the co
