A high-forward-transmission all-optical diode based on cascaded photonic crystal cavities is proposed. To obtain a high forward transmission and a large nonreciprocity, we generate a box-like spectrum by cascading two side-coupled photonic crystal cavities. We find that by appropriately adjusting the distance between two cavities, a high contrast of the transmission and a flat spectral lineshape with almost 100% transmission can be obtained. These characteristics are preferable for achieving a high forward transmission and a large nonreciprocity. Numerical results show that the designed all-optical diode performs perfect transmission with a large nonreciprocal transmission ratio of >50 dB.
