Nonreciprocal light propagation in coupled microcavities system beyond weak-excitation approximation

Abstract We propose a scheme for nonreciprocal light propagation in two coupled cavities system, in which a two-level quantum emitter is coupled to one of the optical microcavities. For the case of parity-time ( $${\mathscr{P}}{\mathscr{T}}$$ P T ) symmetric system (i.e., coupled active-passive cavi...
