Consider two light sources A and B. Exclude things like scattering. Without any kind of barrier A can send light to B and vice versa. I'm looking for some kind of material or setup where A can send to B but not B to A. I'm not much into physics and optics. I'm aware of one way mirrors but I don't know how much it blocks. Are there (practical) alternatives and how much of the reverse channel will they block?
