Controllable fast and slow light in the hybrid quantum dot–nanomechanical resonator system mediated by another nanomechanical resonator with Coulomb interaction
Hua‐Jun Chen
We theoretically propose a hybrid nanomechanical resonator (NR) system, where a doubly clamped suspended NR with an embedded quantum dot driven by two-tone fields is coupled to another NR via the Coulomb interaction, and we investigate the absorption spectra of the probe field under different exciton-pump field detuning. In the condition of pump on-resonance, the absorption spectrum gives a method to determine the coupling strength of the two NRs. In the pump off resonance, the absorption spectra exhibit double-Fano resonance, which is determined by the interaction of the two NRs, the frequencies of the two NRs, as well as the pump detuning. Furthermore, the double-Fano resonances are accompanied by the rapid normal phase dispersion, which indicates the slow- and fast-light effect. The results show that the group velocity index is tunable by the interaction of the two NRs, the detuning, and the different resonator frequencies, which can achieve the conversion from fast light to slow light.
