On-chip broadband and reconfigurable quasi-circulator based on mode conversion

• We propose a unique concept to implement an optical quasi-circulator based on mode conversion without using nonreciprocity. Such circulator is CMOS-compatible, reconfigurable, broadband and could be extended for more ports.
