In the realm of waveguide technology, photonic alloys have emerged as a promising avenue for controlling the propagation of electromagnetic waves. However, a significant drawback of these materials has been their tendency to reflect light back in the direction of origin, a phenomenon known as light backscattering. This limitation has hindered the transmission of data
