CSU opens up new direction in non-reciprocal field to achieve 50dB noiseless all-optical isolation
The scholars at CSU have made new progress in the field of optical non-reciprocity, achieving 51.5dB of non-reciprocal isolation in the atomic system synthesis, which is the highest isolation ratio in the field of non-magnetic non-reciprocity, and for the first time explored the problem of quantum noise in non-reciprocal devices, proving that the new all-optical non-reciprocal effect does not introduce additional quantum noise.
