Using specific orientations, the induced anisotropy can generate an easy plane of magnetization which is inclined with respect to the film plane. If the magnetization lies in this plane a very high sensitivity can be achieved. The dependence of the geometrical orientation of the easy plane on the growth direction is calculated and the sensitivity and dynamic range are derived. Experimental results of a [112] oriented garnet film are in good agreement with calculations.}, language = {en} } @article{LohmeyerShamoninChamonineBahlmannetal., author = {Lohmeyer, Manfred and Shamonin (Chamonine), Mikhail and Bahlmann, N. and Hertel, Peter and Dotsch, H.}, title = {Radiatively Coupled Waveguide Concept for an Integrated Magneto-Optic Circulator}, series = {MRS Online Proceedings Library}, journal = {MRS Online Proceedings Library}, number = {517}, issn = {1946-4274}, doi = {10.1557/PROC-517-519}, pages = {519 -- 524}, abstract = {Three-guide couplers with multimode central waveguides allow for remote coupling between optical channels. A simple three mode approximation turns out to be sufficient for the description of the main features of the power transfer behavior. The specific form of the relevant modes suggests the design of integrated optical isolators and circulators based on magnetic garnet materials. These novel devices are superior to conventional nonreciprocal couplers with respect to the total length and admissible fabrication tolerances. We characterize the isolation performance and the transmission loss for the proposed devices by propagating mode simulations and estimate the influence of geometry parameter deviations.}, language = {en} }
