Abstract
We have investigated the potential of the SiO2/ZrO2 matrix doped with CoFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles in order to overcome the problem of integration of the magneto-optical isolators (MOIs). In this way, we have performed a theoretical study for the case of designing perfect and adjustable MOIs based on magnetophotonic crystals (MPCs) containing SiO2/ZrO2 matrix doped with CoFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles as a magnetic medium. Despite the existence the attenuation coefficient for SiO2/ZrO2 matrix at wavelength 1550Â nm that leads to a non-perfect transmittance, we could introduce an MPC structure having no reflectance; therefore, an ideal MOI for eliminating unwanted back-reflection could be achieved.
