We propose an all-optical approach to achieve optical nonreciprocity on a chip by quantum squeezing one of two coupled resonator modes. By parametric pumping a-nonlinear resonator unidirectionally witha classical coherent field, we squeeze the resonator mode in a selective direction due to the phase-matching condition, and induce a chiral photon interaction between two resonators. Based on this chiral interresonator coupling, we achieve an all-optical diode and a three-port quasicirculator. By applyinga second squeezed-vacuum fieldto the squeezed resonator mode, our nonreciprocal device also works for single-photon pulses. We obtain an isolation ratio offor the diode and fidelity offor the quasicirculator, and insertion loss offor both. We also show that nonreciprocal transmission of strong light can be switched on and off by a relative weak pump light. This achievement impliesa nonreciprocal optical transistor. Our protocol opens up a new route to achieve integrable all-optical nonreciprocal devices permitting chip-compatible optical isolation and nonreciporcal quantum information processing.
