Embodiments herein relate to photonic integrated circuits with an on-chip optical isolator. A photonic transmitter chip may include a laser and an on-chip isolator optically coupled with the laser that includes an optical waveguide having a section coupled with a magneto-optic liquid phase epitaxy grown garnet film. In some embodiments, a cladding may be coupled with the garnet film, the on-chip isolator may be arranged in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer configuration, the waveguide may include one or more polarization rotators, and/or the garnet film may be formed of a material from a rare-earth garnet family. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
