Abstract

We suggest a novel approach to achieve reversible nonreciprocal optical response in a periodic photonic structure with a pair of defects, one of them being a nonlinear liquid crystal. We show that nonreciprocal effects can be reversed by changing the wavelength due to change of localization properties of defect modes.
