  text: 'Optical transport represents a natural route towards fast communications,
    and it is currently used in large scale data transfer. The progressive miniaturization
    of devices for information processing calls for the microscopic tailoring of light
    transport and confinement at length scales appropriate for upcoming technologies.
    With this goal in mind, we present a theoretical analysis of a one-dimensional
    Fabry-Perot interferometer built with two highly saturable nonlinear mirrors:
    a pair of two-level systems. Our approach captures nonlinear and nonreciprocal
    effects of light transport that were not reported previously. Remarkably, we show
    that such an elementary device can operate as a microscopic integrated optical
    rectifier.'
