An explicit dependence of the nonlinearity level on a significant enhancement of the nonreciprocity in terms of an isolation ratio is explored by investigating the effects of both local Kerr-type and saturable nonlinearities (considered separately). The physical insights and implications of harnessing the features of conjugate EPs in nonlinear optical systems can enable the growth and development of a versatile platform for building nonreciprocal components and devices. |
