Nonlocality-Enabled Magnetic Free Optical Isolation in Hyperbolic Metamaterials

Hereby, we present an optical isolator (optical diode) based on a hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM). We demonstrate that a grating-free planar linear non-magnetic HMM structure deposited on a high-index substrate, which, due to presence of strong spatial dispersion (non-locality), reveals asymmetrical t...
