Abstract

We investigate the control field phase-dependent output field transmission from a red detuned ring cavity optomechanical system. Our scheme displays a double transparency window in the presence of a strong control and weak probe field. Additionally, we invoke an external mechanical pump to one of the movable mirrors to modulate its vibration. Complete control over the output field transmission through one of the transparency windows can be achieved due to the combined effect of the amplitudes and the phases of the mechanical pump and the control field. Further, a tunable group delay of the probe pulse propagation can be obtained by the tailoring of the control field phase in the presence of a suitable mechanical drive. We further discuss the effect of control field phase on Stokes field generation via the four-wave mixing process. This scheme may find potential applications in weak signal sensing and all-optical communication purposes.

We theoretically investigate the transmission and group delay of a probe field incident on a hybrid optomechanical system, which consists of a mechanical resonator simultaneously coupled to an optical cavity and a two-level system (qubit). The cavity field is driven by a strong red-detuned control field, and a weak coherent mechanical driving field is applied to the mechanical resonator. With the assistance of additional mechanical driving field, it is shown that double optomechanically induced transparency can be switched into absorption due to destructive interference or amplification because of constructive interference, which depends on the phase difference of the applied fields. We study in detail how to control the probe transmission by tuning the parameters of the optical and mechanical driving fields. Furthermore, we find that the group delay of the transmitted probe field can be prolonged by the tuning the amplitude and phase of the mechanical driving field.

Optically Dark State in a Ring Cavity with Nanomechanical Mirrors

Sumei Huang

We study the effect of a strong coupling field on the absorptive property of a ring cavity with two mirrors oscillating at slightly different frequencies to a weak probe field. We observe double electromagnetically induced transparency windows separated by an absorption peak at line center in the output probe field under the action of a strong coupling field. We find that increasing driving power can broaden the two transparency windows, which results in narrowing of the central absorption peak. At high driving power, the linewidth of the sharp central absorption peak is approximately equal to the mechanical linewidth. We show the normal mode splitting in both the output probe field and the generated Stokes field. We also find that the suppression of the four-wave mixing process can be achieved on resonance.

Higher-order sideband based on transparent windows in a two-cavity optomechanical system

Ximin Bao, Linyang Liu, Ling Dai +1 more

Abstract We present a scheme to realize the regulation of single and double transparent windows in a two-cavity optomechanical device. By studying the output field through the two-cavity device, we not only show the transmission spectrum of the probe field and the second-order sideband process, but also analyze the physical mechanism of the induced transparency window and the efficiency of the second-order sideband process. Moreover, the optomechanically induced transparency window and the coupling of two cavities resulting in transparency window are discussed. We find that the transparency windows and the second-order sideband process can be modulated by the power of the control field and the coupling strength between two cavities. Our device is feasible for controlling light propagation, which might have potential application in quantum optical devices and quantum information networks.

Tunable optical amplification arising from blue detuning in a quadratically coupled optomechanical system

Xiaoyun Wang, Liu-Gang Si, Zeng‐Xing Liu +2 more

We discuss theoretically tunable optical amplification in a quadratically coupled optomechanical system in which two different cavity modes have been excited by two strong optical fields with different frequencies. We find that if cavity mode 1 is driven by the strong control field on red detuning, while cavity mode 2 is excited by the other strong control field on blue detuning, then the amplification of the output probe optical field can occur. On the contrary, when two cavity modes are driven by two strong control fields and both are in the red-detuned regime, the dissipation of the output probe field can occur. The characters of the amplification of the output probe field arising from blue detuning of the control field are analyzed. It is shown that the amplification of the output probe field can be adjusted by the strength of the control field under two-phonon resonance condition. In addition, we also find that the reflectivity of the membrane has a significant impact on the probe transmission spectrum. The amplification of the output probe field may have potential applications for quantum communication, optical complex technology, and all-optical networks.

Optomechanically induced transparency, amplification, and fast–slow light transitions in an optomechanical system with multiple mechanical driving phases

Yingjian Zhu, Cheng‐Hua Bai, Tie Wang +3 more

We investigate the change in width of transparency windows and the amplification of the probe output spectra in an optomechanical system with multiple mechanical resonators. Each mechanical resonator is driven by a mechanical driving field, and the phases of these mechanical driving fields are different. Via exhibiting the probe output spectra of the system, we find that the number of transparency windows is explicitly decided by the number of mechanical resonators with different frequencies. Meanwhile, we discuss the effect of cavity decay rate on the width of the transparency windows. Moreover, we also investigate the absorption and amplification phenomena with the different phase differences among the pump field, probe field, and mechanical driving fields. By adjusting the phase differences, the fast–slow light transitions can occur. These interesting phenomena can also be exploited to investigate the optical switch and frequency comb generation.
