Abstract

In an anti-Hermitian linear system, all energy eigenvalues are purely imaginary and the corresponding eigenvectors are orthogonal. This implies that no stationary state is available in such systems. We consider an anti-Hermitian lattice with cubic nonlinearity and explore novel nonlinear stationary modes. We discuss that relative population is conserved in a nonreciprocal tight binding lattice with periodical boundary conditions as opposed to parity-time (PT) symmetric lattices. We study nonlinear nonrecipocal dimer, triple and quadrimer models and construct stationary nonlinear modes.
