Recent developments in the standardization of magnetic field generators (MFG) have been considered for optical/electronic/optical industrial-scale applications. In this work, a strategy to identify all optical components that can be used to implement a broad range of functions for communications purposes. We propose a circuit design for a magneto-optic interferometric system (MOIS) based on building blocks and subcircuits consisting of an interferometer with magneto-optic phase shifters and a magnetic field generator. The paper shows the building blocks based on elementary 2x2 photonics coupling components. We demonstrate that such a design can be configured as a tunable system based on the phase shift experienced by the incoming signals from two input waveguides in their transitions The current state of the art for all-optical is very specialized devices carefully designed to implement certain functions. Each machine is designed to accomplish a specific function. They can have a high performance, such as low insertion loss and optimum power consumption, with flexibility in terms of cost. Designing for a particular part means engineering the optical device's geometry and simulation before prototyping(Fig. 2). The design cycle may take up to several months. Similar problems are also found in electronics [1-13]. Reconfigurability is a common theme in electronics systems (circuits and components). However, extending programmable systems to other systems is a question of the current time, especially to magneto-optic interferometric systems (MOIS) Fig.1 and photonics. This paper presents the key aspects of the magneto-optic interferometric system (MOIS). In the case of a single-mode system, we will show that complexity and tunability circuits for MOIS can be implemented using a set of standard building blocks, such as a resonator and transfer matrices. We briefly present the transfer matrices of the elementary building block, highlight technological issues, and revisit the critical functionalities achieved with these circuitsReferences: [1] G.
