Optical isolators allow for the transmission of light in one direction while preventing transmission in the other, This non-reciprocal behavior is critical in optical systems in order to stabilize lasers and reduce noise by preventing unwanted back-reflection, More recently, there has been remarkable progress in integrating magnet-free isolators using an active drive to break reciprocity.
