We explore nonreciprocal vibration transmission in a nonlinear periodic waveguide. Nonlinearity and asymmetry, the two necessary requirements for nonreciprocity, are both introduced within the unit cell of the periodic waveguide. We focus…
Nonreciprocity is most commonly associated with a large difference in the transmitted energy when the locations of the source and receiver are interchanged. This energy bias is accompanied by a difference in the transmitted phase. We…
Reciprocity is a fundamental principle governing various physical systems, which ensures that the transfer function between any two points in space is identical, regardless of geometrical or material asymmetries. Breaking this transmission…
Breaking reciprocity has recently gained significant attention due to its broad range of applications in engineering systems. Here, we introduce the first experimental demonstration of a broadband mechanical beam waveguide, which can be…
We study the role of time-reversal symmetry on the dynamical response of nonlinear optical systems that behave as unidirectional ("one-way") devices. It is shown that lossless nonlinear materials, despite being nonreciprocal, are typically…
We report on the demonstration of an effective, nonlinearity-induced non-reciprocal behavior in a single non-magnetic multi-mode Taiji resonator. Non-reciprocity is achieved by a combination of an intensity-dependent refractive index and of…
Waveguides subject to spatiotemporal modulations are known to exhibit nonreciprocal vibration transmission, whereby interchanging the locations of the source and receiver change the end-to-end transmission characteristics. The scenario of…
Exploiting the time-reversal invariance and reciprocal properties of the lossless wave equation enables elegantly simple solutions to complex wave-scattering problems, and is embodied in the time-reversal mirror. A time-reversal mirror…
One of the key contributions of the 1972 seminal paper by Willems was the analysis of symmetry (also called reciprocity) of input-state-output systems, both from an external (input-output) and internal (state) point of view. The developed…
The recent surge of interest in temporal modulation schemes to induce magnet-free non-reciprocity has inspired several exciting opportunities for photonic technology. Here, we investigate a scheme to realize free-space isolators and highly…
Dynamic reciprocity imposes stringent performance constraints on nonlinear optical devices such as isolators and circulators. The seminal result by Shi et al. establishes that nonlinear optical devices relying on the intensity-dependent…
Nonreciprocity has been introduced to various fields to realize asymmetric, nonlinear, and/or time non-revisal physical systems. By virtue of the Maxwell-Betti reciprocal theorem, breaking the time-reversal symmetry of dynamic mechanical…
A novel concept for the design of nonlinear optical diodes is proposed which uses the multistability of coupled nonlinear microcavities and the dependence of switching thresholds on the direction of incidence. A typical example of such…
We demonstrate symmetric wave propagations in asymmetric nonlinear quantum systems. By solving the nonlinear Sch\"ordinger equation, we first analytically prove the existence of symmetric transmission in asymmetric systems with a single…
Materials and devices subject to spatiotemporal modulation of their effective properties have a demonstrated ability to support nonreciprocal transmission of waves. Most notably, spatiotemporally modulated systems can restrict wave…
Acoustic waves in a linear time-invariant medium are generally reciprocal; however, reciprocity can break down in a time-variant system. In this Letter, we report on an experimental demonstration of nonreciprocity in a dynamic…
Mechanical non-reciprocity-manifested as asymmetric responses to opposing mechanical stimuli-has traditionally been achieved through intricate structural nonlinearities in metamaterials. However, continuum solids with inherent…
On-chip optical nonreciprocal devices are vital components for integrated photonic systems and scalable quantum information processing. Nonlinear optical isolators and circulators have attracted considerable attention because of their…
The study of nonreciprocal wave propagation is of great interests for both fundamental research and engineering applications. Here we demonstrate theoretically and experimentally a bidirectional, nonreciprocal, and high-quality diode that…
Unilateral transmission refers to the scenario in which the waves transmitted through a system remain in pure tension or pure compression. This transmission phenomenon may occur in systems that exhibit different effective elasticity in…
