Nonreciprocity and magnetic-free isolation based on optomechanical interactions

Nonreciprocal components are widely used in optical circuits but the magneto-optic effects they are based on pose difficulties for on-chip integration. Here, Ruesink et al. propose an optomechanical scheme to break reciprocity without the need for magnetic fields.
