摘要：

Measurements up to 45 degrees nonreciprocal phase shift using the transverse magneto-optical effect have been made in a hybrid Mach-Zehnder waveguide/fiber interferometer. BiLu-IG waveguides of various thicknesses and lengths have been used to study the length and thickness dependence of the effect at lambda=1.55 mu m. This interferometric scheme is also employed to observe optical isolation; an extinction ratio of 11 dB is obtained for the 45 degrees nonreciprocal phase shift, in agreement with theoretical predictions.
