contents Optomechanical systems with parametric coupling between optical (photon) and mechanical (phonon) modes provide a useful platform to realize various magnetic-free nonreciprocal devices, such as isolators, circulators, and directional amplifiers. However, nonreciprocal router with multiaccess channels has not been extensively studied yet. Here, we propose a nonreciprocal router with one transmitter, one receiver, and two output terminals, based on an optomechanical plaquette composing of two optical modes and two mechanical modes. The time-reversal symmetry of the system is broken via synthetic magnetism induced by driving the two optical modes with phase-correlated laser fields. The prerequisites for nonreciprocal routing are obtained both analytically and numerically, and the robustness of the nonreciprocity is demonstrated numerically. Multi-terminal nonreciprocal router in optomechanical plaquette provides a useful quantum node for development of quantum network information security and realization of quantum secure communication.
