الوصف: In a single magneto-optical (MO) waveguide, the dispersion of guided bulk wave is reciprocal in the Voigt configuration. Here we show that the parity-time (P T) phase in two coupled MO waveguides can be nonreciprocal if the waveguides are properly biased. The nonreciprocal P T phase is closely related to the asymmetric field profile induced by the MO effect that modifies the coupling strength between adjacent waveguides. We show that it is feasible to switch between broken and conserved P T phases by simply reversing the magnetic bias or the propagating direction of wave. Theoretical analysis and numerical calculation prove our theory. This investigation highlights a flexible method in manipulating the field dynamics of waveguide arrays by using the novel properties of P T phase especially the exceptional points.
