contents Chern insulator systems are realizable in numerous physical systems and can support robust nonreciprocal transmission of energy. A routing functionality constructed from two counter-oriented Chern insulator regions, using coupled Haldane type systems is proposed. By adjusting the strength of a magnetic field and the frequency of an antenna source, it possible to steer the flow of energy: completely to the left, completely to the right, or split. Alternatively, two sources can be used to direct the flow of energy. This formulation has the potential to serve as a robust and reconfigurable component in optical transmission.
