Abstract :
We discuss venues to realize magnetic-free nonreciprocal integrated components based on linear and/or nonlinear metamaterials. These solutions, being based on azimuthal spatiotemporal modulation or nonlinear effects, are ideally suited for newly-developed metasurfaces with giant nonlinearities.
