Abstract
Most of the previously proposed methods for nonreciprocal light transmission are based on the unequal couplings of the nanocavity with the input waveguide and the output waveguide, which will inevitably affect the contrast ratio and working bandwidth. Here, we present a simple approach just via the side coupling between one nonlinear resonator and a coupling-tunable waveguide, demonstrating that a high transmission contrast, broad operation bandwidth, and controllable nonreciprocal light transmission can be realized even though the coupling is symmetric. The underlying physics is revealed. This approach may open a way for the study of on-chip optical information processing and quantum computing.
