Abstract

We theoretically investigate the phenomenon of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) of a weak probe field in hybrid optomechanics with a single three-level ($Λ$-type) atomic system. We report that, in the presence of optomechanical coupling and two transition coupling parameters of three-level atom (TLA), there occurs three distinct multiple EIT windows in the probe absorption spectrum. Moreover, the switching of multiple windows into double and single EIT windows can be obtained by suitably tuning the system parameters. Furthermore, the probe transmission spectrum have been studied. Based on our analytical and numerical work, we explain the occurrence of slow and fast light (superluminal) regimes, and enhancement of superluminal behaviour in the probe field transmission. This work demonstrates great potential in multi-channel waveguide, fiber optics and classical communication networks, multi-channel quantum information processing, real quality imaging, cloaking devices and delay lines & optical buffers for telecommunication.

Electromagnetically induced transparency and tunable fano resonances in hybrid optomechanics

Muhammad Javed Akram, Fazal Ghafoor, Farhan Saif

We explain the phenomena of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) of a weak probe field and tunable Fano resonances in hybrid optomechanics. The system of study consists of a two-level atom coupled to a single-mode field of an optomechanical resonator with a moving mirror. We show that a single EIT window exists in the presence of optomechanical coupling or Jaynes–Cummings coupling, whereas two distinct double EIT windows occur when both the couplings are simultaneously present. Furthermore, based on our analytical and numerical work, we prove the existence of tunable Fano resonances in the system. The controlling parameters of the system, which switch from a single EIT window to double EIT windows and are needed to tune the Fano resonances, can be realized in present-day laboratory experiments.

Atom-assisted coherent control of multiple-color mechanically induced switching

Fazal Ghafoor, Muhammad Javed Akram, Muhammad Ayaz +2 more

Abstract We show multiple mechanically induced switching of a weak probe field through a system of cavity-optomechanics with a medium of N number of three levels (Λ-type) atoms exhibiting a strong coherent field coupling. Three distinct MIT windows develop for the probe field transmission using optomechanical coupling together with two other coupling parameters related to the two atomic transitions. Adjustment of the relative phase associated with the coupling parameters leads to multiple absorption-induced optical switching. The switching is obtained by closing one through three of the MIT windows for the probe field transmission tuning the relative phase and vice versa. Contrary to the multiple mechanical induced transparency, the optical switching phenomenon is explained regarding constructive quantum interference effect in the system.

Multiple optomechanically induced transparency and slow/fast light in a multicavity system with two-level atoms

Tianyu Zhou, Guixia Pan

Abstract We investigate the phenomenon of optomechanically induced transparency assisted by a hybrid two-cavity optomechanical system. The system consists of two optical cavities and four mechanical resonators, and each optical cavity is filled with two-level atomic ensembles. Our study demonstrates that the characteristics of optomechanically induced transparency vary with different coupling parameters. Specifically, the number of transparent windows increases with the introduction of atomic ensembles and Coulomb interaction. Furthermore, the positions of the transparent points can be manipulated by the coupling parameters. It is found that increasing the Coulomb coupling between mechanical oscillators shifts the transparent points further apart. Furthermore, we also explore the slow/fast light effect by analyzing the phase and group delay of the probe field. Our approach enables the control of multiple optomechanically induced transparency and provides potential applications in quantum information processing.

Tunable fast and slow light in a hybrid optomechanical system

Muhammad Javed Akram, M. Miskeen Khan, Farhan Saif

We explain the probe field transmission spectrum under the influence of a strong pump field in a hybrid optomechanical system, composed of an optical cavity, a mechanical resonator, and a two-level atom. We show fast (superluminal) and slow (subluminal) light effects of the transmitted probe field in the hybrid system for suitable parametric regimes. For the experimental accessible domain, we find that the fast light effect obtained for the single optomechanical coupling can further be enhanced with the additional atom-field coupling in the hybrid system. Furthermore, we report the existence of a tunable switch from fast to slow light by adjusting the atomic detuning with the anti-Stokes and Stokes sidebands, respectively, as ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{a}=+{\ensuremath{\omega}}_{m}$ and $\ensuremath{-}{\ensuremath{\omega}}_{m}$. The reported characteristics are realizable in state-of-the-art laboratory experiments.

Tunable multicolor optomechanically induced transparency and slow-fast light in hybrid electro-optomechanical system

Ruijie Xiao, Guixia Pan, Ye Liu

Abstract We investigate the tunable multicolor optomechanically induced transparency and the effect of slow/fast light in a hybrid electro-optomechanical system, in which a degenerate optical parametric amplifier (OPA) and a Λ − type three-level atomic ensemble are placed in a optical cavity with two oscillator modes. The system is driven by a strong pump field and a weak probe field, respectively. Multicolor transparency windows appear in the output field under the atom-photon-OPA-phonon-phonon coherent interaction. And the position and width of the transparent port of the output field can be manipulated by properly modifying the different parameters of the subsystem. We also research the slow/fast light effect related to phase and group delay in the probe field. Our proposal provides a great flexibility for phonon storage and has some potential applications in quantum information processing.

Hybrid electromagnetically-optomechanically induced transparency in an atom-assisted optomechanical system

Kai-Hui Gu, Dong Yan, Xin Wang +2 more

Abstract We study the reflected and transmitted output properties of a weak probe field incident upon an optomechanical cavity separated by a membrane oscillator and filled with two-level cold atoms. We find that electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) may simultaneously exist owing to separate cavity–atom coupling and cavity-oscillator coupling, respectively. It is more interesting that the hybrid EIT and OMIT phenomena can be manipulated on demand to exhibit various spectral features on dispersion, transmission, and reflection. In particular, we discover the new hybrid double transparency window (a narrow OMIT dip appearing inside the wide EIT window), analogous to double EIT for a four-level atomic system in inverted-Y configuration. Meanwhile, we can reduce the hybrid EIT–OMIT to a single EIT or OMIT shape by changing the magnitude of the driving field power or the atomic number as desired. Furthermore, by changing the system’s detuning it is possible to change the location and the profile of the EIT, therefore switching the shape of the hybrid EIT–OMIT from symmetric to asymmetric, as well as for the profile to change from a absorption dip-like EIT to dispersion-like EIT in both real and imaginary parts of the output probe field. Also, by modifying system’s detuning we have control over the distribution of the output energy, something difficult to achieve with only one of the sub-systems available.
