Breaking reciprocity by designed loss
arXiv:2204.02730 · doi:10.1364/JOSAB.460706
Abstract
In this paper we show how designed loss in open quantum systems can break reciprocity of the state propagation, and how the non-reciprocal and even unidirectional propagation can be achieved for different kinds of designed loss, both linear and nonlinear ones. In particular, we show how a unidirectional propagation can be achieved for states of certain symmetry in linear schemes, demonstrate possibility of building a single-mode optical insulator by combining two kinds of nonlinear designed losses, and the way to build non-reciprocal circulator with a planar structure of dissipatively coupled waveguides. We discuss feasibility of the considered schemes and suggest possible realizations.
