title: Nonreciprocal Transmission of 10 Gbps OOK Data through an All-Silicon Passive Optical Diode.
abstract: An optical diode transmits forward 10Gbps data with less than 0.5dB power penalty, while suppressing and distorting backward data with a 11dB nominal power penalty. The nonreciprocal transmission is also demonstrated with a silicon modulator.
