摘要：
In this paper, we propose a scheme for subwavelength electromagnetic diodes by employing a photonic crystal (PC) cavity with embedded electromagnetically induced-transparency (EIT)-like highly dispersive meta-interface. A nonreciprocal response, with 21.5 dB transmission light contrast and 12.3 dBm working power, is conceptually demonstrated in a microstrip transmission line system with asymmetric absorption and nonlinear medium inclusion. Such high-contrast transmission and relatively low-threshold diode action stem from the composite PC-EIT mechanism. This mechanism not only possesses a large quality factor and strong localization of fields but also does not enlarge the device volume and drastically reduce transmittance. Our findings should be beneficial for the design of new and practical metamaterial-enabled nonlinear devices. Published by AIP Publishing.
