Abstract:
An apparatus includes a controllable optical interferometer having first and second external optical ports and a traveling-wave modulation electrode. The apparatus also includes an electrical driver configured and connected to apply a voltage with a periodic modulation to the traveling-wave modulation electrode such that the controllable optical interferometer operates as an optical isolator over a wavelength range.
