Article Abstract
Magnetic-free nonreciprocal optical devices have attracted great attention in recent years. Here, we investigated the magnetic-free polarization rotation of light in an atom vapor cell. Two mechanisms of magnetic-free nonreciprocity have been realized in ensembles of hot atoms, including electromagnetically induced transparency and optically-induced magnetization. For a linearly polarized input probe light, a rotation angle up to 86.4° has been realized with external control and pump laser powers of 10 mW and is mainly attributed to the optically-induced magnetization effect. Our demonstration offers a new approach to realize nonreciprocal devices, which can be applied to solid-state atom ensembles and may be useful in photonic integrated circuits.

Ferroelectric polarization switching in electrically controlled van der Waals multiferroic tunnel junctions (vdW-MFTJs) causes atomic migration, compromising device stability and fatigue resistance. Here, we propose fully magnetically controlled vdW-MFTJs based on a CrBr/MnPSe/CrBr vertical heterostructure, achieving ferroelectric polarization reversal without atomic migration. First-principles calculations reveal that integrating PtTe/alkali-metal (Li/Na/K)-doped/intercalated CrBr electrodes enables exceptional performance, with a maximum tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) of 8.

- The research tackles the challenge of integrating magneto-optic materials with CMOS-compatible platforms to achieve non-reciprocity in photonics.
- This study presents a novel method for non-reciprocity using a compact silicon photonic ring resonator, which utilizes time-modulated regions and requires only two small p-i-n junctions.
- The results show a significant performance, with a 16-dB contrast in transmission and a low insertion loss of 0.6 dB, demonstrating its potential as a magnetic-free, low-loss, and compact integrated optical isolator.

Rotational Doppler shift of a circularly polarized wave impinging normally on a rotating anisotropic surface, causes scattered waves with frequency shift equals twice the surface rotation frequency. We show that virtual rotational Doppler shift can be realized in transmission line platforms through a time-varying junction. In a system consisting of a pair of decoupled but identical transmission lines, voltage waves with a 90-degree phase difference between the two lines mimic a circularly polarized wave.

Employing the nonlinear magneto-optical rotation mechanism, we achieve a state-of-the-art magneto-optical rotation coefficient of 1.74×10 rad⋅T⋅m which is four orders of magnitude higher than commonly employed materials.
