Noiseless photonic non-reciprocity via optically-induced magnetization

Optical nonreciprocity through magneto-optical effects requires bulky apparatuses and strong magnetic fields, while magnetic-free approaches are difficult to implement. Here, the authors use optically-induced magnetisation in an atomic ensemble to get 50 dB of isolation over a large power dynamic ra...
