Spectra of Periodic Nonreciprocal Electric Circuits
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spectral properties of periodic nonreciprocal (gyrotropic) electric circuits incorporating gyrators are studied. Based on the Lagrange formalism we analyze the origin of the special features of periodic nonreciprocal media and establish some universal spectral properties common for a variety of gyrotropic periodic systems. We found that the combination of periodicity and nonreciprocity can produce asymmetric dispersion relations implying a significant difference in the wave energy transfer in opposite directions.

Nonreciprocal waveguide Bragg gratings.
The use of a complex short-period (Bragg) grating which combines matched periodic modulations of refractive index and loss/gain allows asymmetrical mode coupling within a contra-directional waveguide coupler. Such a complex Bragg grating exhibits a different behavior (e.g. in terms of the reflection and transmission spectra) when probed from opposite ends. More specifically, the grating has a s...

The general objective of this research is to extend our knowledge of the properties of electric networks, active or passive, reciprocal or nonreciprocal, linear or nonlinear. The topics that are being investigated are: (a) circuit models of linear nonreciprocal networks; (b) topological methods of analysis for linear nonreciprocal networks; (c) properties of RC networks that contain dynamically...
متن کاملNonreciprocal wave scattering on nonlinear string-coupled oscillators.
We study scattering of a periodic wave in a string on two lumped oscillators attached to it. The equations can be represented as a driven (by the incident wave) dissipative (due to radiation losses) system of delay differential equations of neutral type. Nonlinearity of oscillators makes the scattering non-reciprocal: The same wave is transmitted differently in two directions. Periodic regimes ...
متن کاملAll-passive nonreciprocal metastructure
One-way propagation of light, analogous to the directional flow of electrons in the presence of electric potential difference, has been an important goal in the wave-matter interaction. Breaking time-reversal symmetry in photonic flows is faced with challenges different from those for electron flows. In recent years several approaches and methods have been offered towards achieving this goal. H...
متن کاملPaul Drude's Prediction of Nonreciprocal Mutual Inductance for Tesla Transformers
Inductors, transmission lines, and Tesla transformers have been modeled with lumped-element equivalent circuits for over a century. In a well-known paper from 1904, Paul Drude predicts that the mutual inductance for an unloaded Tesla transformer should be nonreciprocal. This historical curiosity is mostly forgotten today, perhaps because it appears incorrect. However, Drude's prediction is show...
