SINGLE POLARIZATION CIRCULATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240295694 titled 'SINGLE POLARIZATION CIRCULATOR
The abstract describes a system, method, and photonic chip for an optical circulator. The system includes a first polarization splitter, a first optical circuit, and a first controller. The first polarization splitter receives a first optical signal at a first port, while the first optical circuit, optically coupled to the splitter, includes a plurality of phase shifters and receives a second optical signal at a first port. The first controller adjusts the phase shifters to output the signals accordingly.

Original Abstract Submitted
a system, method, and photonic chip for an optical circulator are described. the system includes a first polarization splitter, a first optical circuit, and a first controller. the first polarization splitter receives, at a first port of the first polarization splitter, a first optical signal. the first optical circuit is optically coupled to the first polarization splitter. the first optical circuit includes a first plurality of phase shifters. the first optical circuit receives, at a first port of the first optical circuit, a second optical signal. the first controller adjusts the first plurality of phase shifters such that the first optical circuit outputs the first optical signal at a second port of the first optical circuit and such that the first polarization splitter outputs the second optical signal at the first port of the first polarization splitter.
