Giant bias-free nonreciprocity for unpolarized light via synthetic motion

L. M. Máñez-Espina, B. Amrahi, I. Faniayeu +4

Reciprocity breaking at optical frequencies typically relies on bulky magnets, dynamic modulation, or nonlinearities, all of which hinder chip-scale integration and the handling of…
