contents In this work, we theoretically propose a broadband asymmetric transmission (AT) device based on periodic Si nanoring arrays embedded in a SiO2 substrate. Results indicate that the device achieves a remarkable broadband AT effect in the near-infrared region (1750-2400 nm), with forward transmissivity exceeding 0.8 (maximum of 0.98), backward transmissivity less than 0.15 (minimum of 0.015) and an isolation ratio (IR) reaching a maximum of 17.8 dB at 2280 nm. Furthermore, the transmissivity spectrum exhibits excellent scalability and tunability through uniform scaling of the structure, allowing the operational band to be tailored across a wide spectral range, from 890 to 3300 nm. This Si-based nanostructure offers a robust and flexible platform for applications in optical isolation, multi-channel sensing, and integrated photonic circuits.
