Abstract

We investigate the effects of atomic collisions as well as optomechanical mirror–field coupling on the optical bistability in a hybrid system consisting of a Bose–Einstein condensate inside a driven optical cavity with a moving end mirror. It is shown that the bistability of the system can be controlled by the s-wave scattering frequency which can provide the possibility of realizing a controllable optical switch. On the other hand, by studying the effect of the Bogoliubov mode, as a secondary mechanical mode relative to the mirror vibrations, on the cooling process as well as the bipartite mirror–field and atom–field entanglements we find an interpretation for the cooling of the Bogoliubov mode. The advantage of this hybrid system in comparison to the bare optomecanical cavity with a two-mode moving mirror is the controllability of the frequency of the secondary mode through the s-wave scattering interaction.

Research Paper: Entanglement and Quantum Cooling of a Hybrid System Composed of BEC and Optical Cavity

‎We present a theoretical interacting one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) inside an optical cavity which is driven through of the fixed end mirrors. Under the Bogoliubov approximation and when the number of photons inside the cavity is not too large, the atomic field operator can be considered as a single-mode quantum field which is coupled to the radiation pressure of the intracavity field. In this way, the system behaves like an optomechanical system with an extra nonlinear term corresponding to the atom-atom interaction.We show that one of the best ways of tracing the effect of atomic interaction is to study the noise power spectrum of the field of the cavity. For this purpose, we study the light intensity spectrum of the cavity as well as the entanglement between the optical cavity and the BEC. We show how the pattern of the power spectrum of the cavity changes due to the nonlinear effect of atomic collisions. Furthermore, it is shown that due to the s-wave scattering frequency of the atom-atom interaction, one can measure the strength of interatomic interaction. Besides, we show how the atomic collisions affect the entanglement between subsystems and cooling behavior of the BEC atoms.

Tunable second-order sideband effects in hybrid optomechanical cavity assisted with a Bose–Einstein condensate

Liwei Liu, Chunguang Du, Guo-Heng Zhang +4 more

We theoretically investigated a second-order optomechanical-induced transparency (OMIT) process of a hybrid optomechanical system (COMS), which a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) in the presence of atom–atom interaction trapped inside a cavity with a moving end mirror. The advantage of this hybrid COMS over a bare COMS is that the frequency of the second mode is controlled by the s-wave scattering interaction. Based on the traditional linearization approximation, we derive analytical solutions for the output transmission intensity of the probe field and the dimensionless amplitude of the second-order sideband (SS). The numerical results show that the transmission intensity of the probe field and the dimensionless amplitude of the SS can be controlled by the s-wave scattering frequency. Furthermore, the control field intensities, the effective detuning, the effective coupling strength of the cavity field with the Bogoliubov mode are used to control the transmission intensity of the probe field and the dimensionless amplitude of the SS.

Tunable Bistability in Hybrid Bose-Einstein Condensate Optomechanics

Kashif Ammar Yasir, Wu-Ming Liu

Cavity-optomechanics, a rapidly developing area of research, has made a remarkable progress. A stunning manifestation of optomechanical phenomena is in exploiting the mechanical effects of light to couple the optical degree of freedom with mechanical degree of freedom. In this report, we investigate the controlled bistable dynamics of such hybrid optomechanical system composed of cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) trapped inside high-finesse optical cavity with one moving-end mirror and is driven by a single mode optical field. The numerical results provide evidence for controlled optical bistability in optomechanics using transverse optical field which directly interacts with atoms causing the coupling of transverse field with momentum side modes, exited by intra-cavity field. This technique of transverse field coupling is also used to control bistable dynamics of both moving-end mirror and BEC. The report provides an understanding of temporal dynamics of moving-end mirror and BEC with respect to transverse field. Moreover, dependence of effective potential of the system on transverse field has also been discussed. To observe this phenomena in laboratory, we have suggested a certain set of experimental parameters. These findings provide a platform to investigate the tunable behavior of novel phenomenon like electromagnetically induced transparency and entanglement in hybrid systems.

Controllable Four-Wave Mixing Based on Hybrid BEC-Optomechanical Systems

We theoretically investigate the four-wave mixing (FWM) process based on hybrid optomechanical systems consisting of a cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), trapped inside an optical cavity with a moving endmirror.We can use a strong control field driving the cavity to control the bistable behavior of the steady-state photon number, the phonon number of the collective oscillation of the BEC and the phonon number of the mechanical resonator.Furthermore, we show how optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) in the hybrid optomechanical systems can be used to control the four-wave mixing and enhance the intensity of the four-wave mixing.The calculated results show that the effect of the four-wave mixing can be controlled effectively by the pump strength, the frequency difference between the BEC and the moving end mirror, cavity decay rate, and effective coupling strength of the optical field with the moving mirror.Finally, the number peak of FWM can be controlled by modulating the frequency difference between the BEC and the moving end mirror and effective coupling strength of the optical field with the moving mirror.

Controllable optical bistability in a hybrid optomechanical system

Bijita Sarma, Amarendra K. Sarma

We investigate theoretically the effect of optical feedback from a cavity containing an ultracold two level atomic ensemble, on the bistable behavior shown by mean intracavity optical field in an optomechanical cavity resonator. It turns out that the optical bistability can be controlled by tuning the frequency and power of the single driving laser as well as by varying different system parameters provided by the hybrid interaction. Significantly, even though the atomic cavity is not driven by any laser pump and there is no coupling with the mechanical oscillator directly, the intracavity optical field in the atomic cavity also exhibits bistability due to the optical coupling with the optomechanical cavity. In essence, our work emphasizes the possibility of realization of a better controllable optical switch depending on the hybrid interaction.
