Abstract

A magneto-optical waveguide device includes a waveguide coupled with a magneto-optical crystal material. The magneto-optical waveguide device includes a patterned nanostructure within the magneto-optical crystal material that includes an internal optical waveguide through the magneto-optical crystal material. The patterned nanostructure modifies the refractive index of the magneto-optical crystal material below diffraction limit. The patterned nanostructure creates metamaterial effective properties that optimize core-cladding inside the magneto-optical crystal material to create the optical waveguide.
