Taught is a photonic crystal three-port circulator, which comprises a dielectric background material and a plurality of first air columns which are symmetrically arranged in the form of triangular lattice in the dielectric background material. The photonic crystal three-port circulator also comprises a magneto-optical cavity and three waveguides, wherein the magneto-optical cavity is arranged at the center of the photonic crystal three-port circulator; the three waveguides are symmetrically distributed around the magneto-optical cavity; and each waveguide comprises a waveguide port which is arranged at the position in the waveguide far away from the magneto-optical cavity. The photonic crystal three-port circulator realizes circular light transmission in single rotational direction from any one of the waveguide ports to another next to it, has a simple and compact structure, and can be easily integrated with other photonic crystal devices. |
