Isolators and circulators
• Need: Avoid backward travelling waves,
sometimes detrimental for laser performance.
• Problems: Expensive and bulky


One of the remaining problems in optical networks:
Small, integrated devices are needed,
Magnetic fields required since we are dealing with
non-reciprocal devices.
