Novel functional devices such as waveguide‐type optical modulator and optical isolator using optically active polymers and diamagnetic polymer were proposed. These devices are based on the reciprocal and/or non‐reciprocal TE‐TM mode conversion caused by the off‐diagonal element of the dielectric tensor in the core polymer. As the structures of these devices are very simple, they can easily be assembled. These operations in the blue wavelength region were analyzed theoretically and experimentally.
