Self-induced nonreciprocal transmission with optical nonlinear metamaterials

Breaking the Lorentz reciprocity law and consequently generating nonreciprocal transmission consists a fundamental functionality in several important optical devices such as isolators, circulators, switches, and optical diodes. Self-induced nonreciprocity based on optical nonlinear effects is a more appealing technique compared to other relevant nonreciprocal schemes due to the absence of any kind...
