Abstract: A non reciprocal optical device for transmitting light in a forward and reverse direction substantially independently of polarization state from a collection of waveguides. The device includes: a first array of spaced apart waveguides having at least a first wave guide and a second waveguide; a second array of spaced apart waveguides including at least a third waveguide; an imaging component for focusing a diverging beam of light disposed between the first array and the second array of waveguides, at least two polarization equalization components for polarization equalization of diverging or converging light, each of the polarization equalization components disposed between a waveguide array and the imaging component; add a plurality of polarization rotation components disposed between each waveguide array. Light from the first waveguide is transmitted to the third waveguide and light from the third waveguide is transmitted to the second waveguide in a polarization independent manner.
