Abstract

Photon scattering properties in one-dimensional waveguide side coupled to a nanocavity embedded in two atoms with dipole-dipole interaction (DDI) are investigated theoretically. The analytical expressions of the transmission and reflection amplitudes are deduced by using the real-space Hamiltonian. A method to determine the coupling strength of DDI is proposed. Realization of single photon switching by modulation the DDI is investigated. The influence of dissipations on the performance of the single photon switching are exhibited. An asymmetric Fano-type resonance, which can be controlled by the DDI, appears in the transmission spectrum.

Single-Photon Transmission Characteristics in a Pair of Coupled-Resonator Waveguides Linked by a Nanocavity Containing a Quantum Emitter

Mu-Tian Cheng, Meng-Ting Ding, Yan‐Yan Song +1 more

Single-photon scattering in a pair of coupled-resonator arrays of waveguides linked by a nanocavity embedded with a two-level system is investigated theoretically. By using the discrete coordinates approach, we deduce the analytical expressions for the transmission and reflection amplitudes. The calculations reveal that the transport properties of the single photon can be controlled by adjusting the coupled strength between the nanocavity and the coupled-resonator array. Quantum switching and a 1/4 beam splitter for the band-edge photon based on this structure are also discussed.

Single-photon transport in one-dimensional coupled-resonator waveguide with local and nonlocal coupling to a nanocavity containing a two-level system

Mu-Tian Cheng, Xiao-San Ma, Meng-Ting Ding +2 more

Single-photon scattering properties in a coupled-resonator waveguide (CRW) coupled to a nanocavity embedded with a two-level system are investigated theoretically. Two cases are considered: when the nanocavity is locally coupled to one resonator and when it is nonlocally coupled to two resonators of the CRW. The transmission and reflection amplitudes are obtained for the two cases, respectively. The results show that the position of perfect transmission remains unchanged, while the position of perfect reflection is shifted due to the nonlocal coupling. An asymmetric Fano resonance appears in the transmission spectrum and can be controlled by adjusting the coupling strengths in the nonlocal coupling case. The effects of the coupling strengths and dissipation on the transport properties are also analyzed for the two cases.

Waveguide transport mediated by strong coupling with atoms

Mu-Tian Cheng, Jingping Xu, G. S. Agarwal

We investigate single-photon scattering properties in a one-dimensional waveguide coupled to a quantum emitter's chain with dipole-dipole interaction (DDI). The photon transport is extremely sensitive to the location of the evanescently coupled atoms. The analytical expressions of reflection and transmission amplitudes for the chain containing two emitters with DDI are deduced by using a real-space Hamiltonian. Two cases, where the two emitters symmetrically or asymmetrically couple to the waveguide, are discussed in detail. It shows that the reflection and transmission typical spectra split into two peaks due to the DDI. The Fano minimum in the spectra can be used to estimate the strength of the DDI. Furthermore, the DDI makes spectra strongly asymmetric and creates a transmission window in the region where there was zero transmission. The scattering spectra for the chain consisting of multiple emitters are also given. Our key finding is that DDI can broaden the frequency bandwidth for high reflection when the chain consists of many emitters.

Controllable single-photon transport in a one-dimensional coupled-resonator waveguide coupled to two nanocavities interacting with atoms

Wenan Li, Xiaoshi Li, Jin-Jiang Huang +3 more

We investigate controllable single-photon transport in a one-dimensional coupled-resonator waveguide coupled to two nanocavities interacting with atoms. The reflection and transmission coefficients for a single photon propagating in such a system are deduced by using the discrete coordinates approach. The resonator–nanocavity coupling strength, atom–nanocavity coupling coefficient, and the detuning between the incident photon and the atom, respectively, which affect the transport properties of the single photon, are analyzed. It is found that some useful information, such as the atom–nanocavity coupling strength, can be extracted from the single-photon transmission spectrum under proper parameter settings. We also study how the coupling between two nanocavities affects the single-photon transmission property.

Transmission Characteristics in a Coupled-Resonator Waveguide Interacting with a Two-Mode Nanocavity Containing a Three-Level Emitter

Mu-Tian Cheng, Yan‐Yan Song, Long-Bao Yu

The photon transport in a coupled-resonator waveguide coupled to a two-mode nanocavity embedded with a three-level emitter is investigated. The transmission and reflection amplitudes are obtained by using the discrete coordinates approach. We show that the coherent transport properties of a single photon can be well controlled by detuning the coupling strength between the two-mode nanocavity and the emitter, and the coupling strength between the nanocavity and the coupled-resonator waveguide. These results may be useful for the design of photonic devices such as optical filters.

CONTROLLING SINGLE-PHOTON TRANSPORT IN A ONE-DIMENSIONAL RESONATOR WAVEGUIDE BY INTERATOMIC DIPOLE–DIPOLE INTERACTION

Wei Tian, Bin Chen, GUANG TONG

Controlling single-photon transport in a one-dimensional resonator waveguide can be realized by the interatomic dipole–dipole interaction (DDI). Our numerical results show that the effects of the DDI act as that of a positive detuning. Because of the DDI, the period of the transmission spectrum changes, and its amplitude increases for stronger DDI intensity. We also discuss the influences of the DDI on the transport in low-energy and high-energy regimes. Besides, a cooperation dissipation, induced by the two atoms coupling to a common reservoir, can lead to the increase of the atomic total decay rates and the decrease of the reflection amplitude of the incident photon.
