Abstract Phonon lasers, as a novel kind of lasers for generating coherent sound oscillation, has attracted extensive attention. Here, we theoretically propose a nonreciprocal phonon laser in a hybrid optomechanical system, which is composed of an asymmetric Fabry–Pérot cavity, an ensemble of $N$ identical two-level atoms, and a mechanical oscillator. The effective driving amplitude related to driving direction leads to an obvious difference in mechanical gain and threshold power, bringing about a nonreciprocal phonon laser. In addition, the dependence of the phonon laser on the atomic parameters is also discussed, including the decay rate of the atoms and the coupling strength between the atoms and the cavity field, which provides an additional degree of freedom to control the phonon laser action. Our work provides a path to realizing a phonon laser in an atoms-cavity optomechanical system and may aid the manufacture of directional coherent phonon sources.
