magnetic nanoparticles that has a promising future to overcome the problem of integration of magneto-optical isolators(MOIs). The above-mentioned magnetic material are obtained by the sol-gel processing can be used to prepare high optical quality magnetic layers of MOIs that are based on Magnetic Photonic Crystals (MPCs) structure. At wavelength 1550nm, we used the Transfer Matrix Method(TMM) to calculate the transmittance T, Faraday rotation angle θ
