Abstract :
This correspondence describes the concept of a non-reciprocal transmission isolator or four-port circulator consisting of an anisotropic index of refraction element inside the perimeter of a traveling-wave (ring) interferometer. The potential advantages of this device with regard to feedback power rejection capability and rejection ratio are discussed.
