Abstract

A T-shaped defect structure based on two-dimensional square-lattice magneto-photonic pillar array is proposed and a novel compact waveguide circulator using cylindrical ferrite rods is numerically investigated. Under a bias DC magnetic field, the ferrite rod in the central point of defect structure can provide Faraday rotation External characteristics of the circulator are calculated by finite element method and the numerical results show that the isolation is 25.92dB and insertion loss is 0.064dB. Furthermore, according to the scaling theory of Maxwell’s equations, a 3 cm T-junction circulator is developed by scaling the radius of the central ferrite cylinder..
