title: 40 dB Optical Nonreciprocal Transmission on a Silicon Chip.
abstract: We demonstrate 40 dB nonreciprocal transmission at telecommunication wavelengths using an integrated all silicon optical diode. The nonreciprocal transmission ratio is the highest to date for CMOS compatible silicon integrated photonics.
