  • Optical diode
    Patent number: 9952384
    Abstract: An optical diode (1) comprising an optical wave guide for guiding light, preferably of a light mode, with a vacuum wavelength ?0, wherein the optical wave guide has a wave guide core (2, 3, 14) with a first index of refraction (n1), and the wave guide core (2, 3, 14) is surrounded by at least one second optical medium which has at least one second index of refraction (n2), wherein n1>n2 applies, wherein the wave guide core (2, 3, 14) has at least in sections a smallest lateral dimension (7) which is a smallest dimension of a cross section (6) perpendicular to a propagation direction (5) of the light in the wave guide core (2, 3, 14), wherein the smallest lateral dimension (7) is greater than or equal to ?0/(5*n1) and less than or equal to 20*?0/n1, wherein the optical diode (1) additionally comprises at least one absorber element (10, 11, 15, 16) which is arranged in a near field, wherein the near field consists of the electromagnetic field of the light of the vacuum wavelength ?0 in the wave guide core (2
