Broadband Optical Nonreciprocal Transmission Using a Nonlinear Attenuator Cascaded with a Linear Attenuator

We propose a approach to realize integrated optical nonreciprocal transmission (ONT) using a nonlinear attenuator and a linear attenuator. In a proof-of-concept experiment based on single-mode fiber,we realize large nonreciprocal transmission ratio. Our architecture may provide an answer to the challenge of ONT in photonic integrated circuits.
