Transmission Nonreciprocity in a Mutually Coupled Circulating Structure

Abstract: Breaking Lorentz reciprocity was believed to be a prerequisite for nonreciprocal transmissions of light fields, so the possibility of nonreciprocity by linear optical systems was mostly ignored. We put forward a structure of three mutually coupled microcavities or optical fiber rings to realize optical nonreciprocity. Although its couplings with the fields from two different input ports are constantly equal, such system transmits them nonreciprocally either under the saturation of an optical gain in one of the… Show more

“…Recently novel avenues to achieve nonreciprocity of electromagnetic fields without magnets but using new scattering effects and a new class of materials and metamaterials have been implemented. [ 16–21 ] The examples include dynamic spatiotemporal modulation of parameters, [ 22–25 ] synthetic magnetic field, [ 25–27 ] angular momentum biasing in photonic or acoustic systems, [ 21,28,29 ] nonlinearity, [ 30–33 ] interband photonic transitions, [ 34,35 ] optomechanics, [ 36–40 ] optoacoustics, [ 41,42 ] parity‐time (PT)‐symmetry breaking, [ 43–45 ] unidirectional gain and loss, [ 46–53 ] moving/rotating cavities [ 54–56 ] and emitters, [ 57 ] Doppler‐shift, [ 58 ] chiral light‐matter coupling and valley polarization, [ 59–63 ] and quantum nonlinearity.

“…Nonreciprocity has been introduced to various fields to give asymmetrical, nonlinear, and/or time non-revisal physical systems 1 9 . Optical nonreciprocity has been recently introduced to photonics, optical diodes, and insulators to give nonreciprocal transmissions of light fields 1 5 .…”

“…Nonetheless, materials or structures that would achieve asymmetric couplings of certain fields would break the time-reversal symmetry and induce nonreciprocity without breaking the reciprocity laws 11 . This has been realized in optical systems where structures that achieved asymmetric couplings of the optical fields induced optical nonreciprocity without breaking the Lorentz reciprocity law 9 . This indicates that the violation of the reciprocity law of a physical system does not necessarily imply that the physical system is really nonreciprocal.…”
