Parity–time symmetry and variable optical isolation in active–passive-coupled microresonators
2014
On-chip parity–time-symmetric optics is experimentally demonstrated at a wavelength of 1,550 nm in two directly coupled, high-Q silica microtoroid resonators with balanced effective gain and loss. Switchable optical isolation with a nonreciprocal isolation ratio between −8 dB and +8 dB is also shown. The findings will be useful for potential applications in optical isolators, on-chip light control and optical communications.
