![]() ![]() By applying an external magnetic field opposite to the magnetization of the faraday rotators, it is possible to repole the magneto-optic material, leading to reversely circulating light inside the device. For a first demonstrator, on-chip losses down to 5 dB and optical isolations up to 24 dB were measured, depending on the different input and output constellations, as well as the polarization. Crystalline, pre-magnetized bulk Faraday rotators (FRs) and half-wave plates (HWPs) are inserted into free-space sections, formed by pairs of waveguide butt-coupled GRIN lenses. The circulator consists of polymer waveguides and two thin-film polarization beam splitters (PBSs) inserted into waveguides via etched slots. ![]() In this work, we experimentally demonstrate a four-port polarization independent optical circulator on a polymer-based hybrid integration platform. Therefore, they are important building blocks in integrated optics, which promises further miniaturization and cost reduction of optical elements for telecom, datacom, and sensing applications. Nonreciprocal optical functionalities like optical isolators and circulators are key components for the suppression of unwanted optical feedback in lasers and are also widely used for light routing in fiber-based measurement systems such as optical coherence tomography. Our promising results pave the way to miniaturized differential absorption lidar systems, while highlighting some of the main challenges to overcome. The carbon dioxide sensing is done by measuring a gas cell in a fiber setup emulating a lidar configuration. We characterize the individual integrated devices, especially lasers, photodiodes and modulators. The circuit contains two interrelated subsystems, one for performing the differential absorption lidar measurement, and the other for stabilizing the emission wavelength of the different lasers. It consists of three four-section distributed Bragg reflector lasers, two fast photodiodes, two electro-absorption modulators and five semiconductor optical amplifiers integrated together with several couplers and waveguides. We have designed and characterized the photonic circuit that has been fabricated through an open access generic integration platform based on standard building blocks. We demonstrate carbon dioxide sensing using a random-modulation continuous-wave differential absorption lidar transmitter based on an indium phosphide photonic integrated circuit.
