Abstract
The propagation of naturally polarized light through a Fabry-Perot resonator with a layer of cholesteric liquid crystal is considered. In the presence of absorption, this system exhibits nonreciprocity even for naturally polarized light, which implies the existence of a new type of nonreciprocal reflection. An analysis of the peculiarities of this nonreciprocity shows that strongly nonreciprocal multilayer systems can be used as optical diodes or optical insulators (transmitting signals via an optical communication channel in one direction and blocking signals propagating in the opposite direction) or as systems for the accumulation of light energy.
