TL;DR: In this paper, non-magnetic non-reciprocal transparency and amplification is achieved by optomechanics using a whispering gallery microresonator, and the idea may lead to integrated all-optical isolators or non-receptive phase shifters.

TL;DR: An experimental demonstration of Brillouin-scattering-induced transparency in a high-quality whispering-gallery-mode optical microresonantor establishes a new avenue towards integrated all-optical switching with low-power consumption, optical isolators and circulators.

TL;DR: This work experimentally demonstrates a reconfigurable non-reciprocal device with alternative functions as either a circulator or a directional amplifier via optomechanically induced coherent photon–phonon conversion or gain, which offers exciting opportunities for combining reconfigurability, non-Reciprocity and active properties in single photonic devices, which can be generalized to microwave and acoustic circuits.

TL;DR: In this paper, a reconfigurable non-reciprocal device with alternative functions of either a circulator or a directional amplifier via the optomechanically induced coherent photon-phonon conversion or gain is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the Sagnac effect was used to achieve non-reciprocal quantum entanglement of light and motion and reveal its counterintuitive robustness against random losses.
