Abstract— We present a path towards reconfigurable, electrically driven and integrated multiple-port optical circulators. 4 dB of isolation between adjacent ports, and four different working. An optical circulator is a three- or four-port optical device designed such that light entering any port exits from the next. You can think of it as a traffic controller for light, ensuring signals flow in one direction without interference., receive) signals without crosstalk and with low insertion loss. Our Single Mode (SM) and Polarization-Maintaining (PM) Circulators are ideal for advanced communication systems and fiber sensor. Thorlabs' Single Mode (SM) Optic Circulators are non-reciprocating, one directional, three-port devices that are used in a wide range of optical setups and for numerous applications. Our SM optical circulators have a center wavelength of 1064, 1310 (O-Band), or 1550 nm (C-Band).
