Perturbation-induced nonreciprocal transmission in nonlinear parity-time-symmetric silicon micromechanical resonators by Rui Wang, Lei Han, Man-Na Zhang, Li-Feng Wang, Qing-An Huang

“…Here, we demonstrate an approach to achieve nonreciprocal transmission in PT-symmetric silicon micromechanical resonators operating in an exact phase. In our approach, PT-symmetry breaking due to external perturbations to the loss resonator results in exponential growth and decay modes. …”
