Non Reciprocal Silicon-Organic Nanophotonic Structures KU Leuven
We present a setup to measure the nonreciprocal magneto-optical phase shift in air and polymer cladded silicon on insulator waveguides. A high sensitivity could be achieved for the setup sufficient to determine the effect produced by silicon and silica. A silicon waveguide covered with a Fe3O4 nanoparticle containing polymer shows an amplitude modulation resulting from Faraday ellipticity which is of the same order of magnitude as the Faraday ...
