Gyrotropic photonic crystal waveguide switches

Z. Wu, Miguel Levy, V. J. Fratello, and A. M. Merzlikin
Functional photonic crystals fabricated in iron garnet films are shown to provide magnetically-controllable optical switching. Transverse-electric and transverse-magnetic stop band separation in conjunction with optical gyrotropy are utilized to selectively block and transmit near-infrared light in ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 96, 051125 (2010)] published Fri Feb 5, 2010.
