ABSTRACT
We show how non-reciprocity and topology are used to construct an optical one-way waveguide in the Voigt geometry. First, we present a traditional approach of the one-way waveguide of light using surface polaritons under a static magnetic field. Second, we explain a recent discovery of a topological approach using photonic crystals with the magneto-optical coupling. Third, we present a combination of the two approaches, toward a broadband one-way waveguide in the microwave range. No MeSH data available. |

Figure 1: The geometry under consideration. The magnetic field is applied in the lower part. Mentions: In this section, we consider a flat interface between magnetic and non-magnetic media shown in figure 1 as a system without the TRS and SIS. For simplicity, we consider light propagation in the xy plane, and a static magnetic field is applied in the z direction. Obviously, the parity symmetry () is broken. The parity symmetry is also broken by the magnetic field. The parity symmetry is preserved irrespective of the magnetic field. As a result, the SIS is broken. |
