Possible realization of directional optical waveguides in photonic crystals with broken time-reversal symmetry

F D M Haldane et al. Phys Rev Lett. .

Abstract

We show how, in principle, to construct analogs of quantum Hall edge states in "photonic crystals" made with nonreciprocal (Faraday-effect) media. These form "one-way waveguides" that allow electromagnetic energy to flow in one direction only.
