Abstract 2-port optical isolator.

Based on IsolatorModel. This is a lumped device with no geometry, phase, or dispersion.

Args

  • insertion_loss: Insertion loss in the transmission path.
  • isolation: Insertion loss in the isolation path.
  • return_loss0: Return loss as seen from port 0.
  • return_loss1: Return loss as seen from port 1.
