AI Article Synopsis
- The paper introduces a method to create light propagation that disrupts left-right symmetry using three connected waveguides, similar to a technique in atomic physics.
- The process can achieve this symmetry breaking over a frequency range of 80 nm.
- The system relies solely on linear passive optical materials, making it simple to integrate on a chip.
Article Abstract
Using a technique, analogous to coherent population trapping in an atomic system, we propose schemes to create transverse light propagation violating left-right symmetry in a photonic circuit consisting of three coupled waveguides. The frequency windows for the symmetry breaking of the left-right energy flow span over 80 nm. Our proposed system only uses linear passive optical materials and is easy to integrate on a chip.
