This paper proposes a structure of Magneto-Optic Photonic Crystal Fiber (MO-PCF) with an asymmetric core structure. By applying an external magnetic field perpendicular to both the polarization direction and the propagation direction, the non-reciprocal transmission properties can be achieved in terms of light propagation direction. To analyze the transmission characteristics of PCFs, we used the Full Vector Finite Element Method (FV-FEM). We analyzed various core shapes to determine their impact on the Non-Reciprocal Phase Shift (NRPS) and identified several core structures that significantly increase NRPS. By optimizing the structure parameters, the forward-propagating mode of MO-PCF and the mode of non-magnetic PCF satisfy the phase matching condition, while ensuring that the backward-propagating mode of the MO-PCF and non-magnetic PCF do not couple, and then effect of optical isolator is achieved. Based on these analyses, we proposed a directional coupler type optical isolator that configures MO-PCF in parallel with non-magnetic PCF.
