Abstract

Abstract We study electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), which is affected by cavity optomechanics in different atomic configurations ( V and Λ ). The cavity mode is depicted as a probe field, and a classical driving field is applied to the atomic medium as the control laser in each system. Interaction between the cavity mode, atomic media and the oscillating mirror of the cavity can change the susceptibility of the atomic ensemble. Equations of motion demonstrate a system of nonlinear equations for each system. Nonlinearity of equations is a result of interaction between the cavity mode and atomic transitions. The equations are solved via a perturbation method. The results show two different aspects of atom-assisted optomechanics in V -type system: a common transparency window and an amplifying process in a transparency window that does not occur in the Λ configuration, notable as a considerable difference between the proposed systems. It is shown that classical field detuning leads to different changes in the susceptibility of both systems; other values of cavity detuning, except in the resonant case, can guarantee the occurrence of EIT in the system. For the initial value of the cavity field, a negative region appears in absorption spectrum of the V -type atomic ensemble. Meanwhile, the Λ configuration does not show a such process. According to our results, in the appearance of the transparency window, the position of movable mirror changes significantly.

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.

Electromagnetically induced transparency in cavity optomechanical system with -type atomic medium

Teng Qi, Yan Han, Ling Zhou

We study an ensemble of identical -type atoms confined inside a cavity optomechanical system. We show that when the atoms have no absorption and dispersion the output field of the optomechanical system present a transparency phenomenon. The oscillation of the mirror does not affect the transparency of the atomic medium while the existence of the atomic medium results in two transparency windows of the output cavity field. We also show that the frequency of the oscillation mirror affects the analogy transparency of the output cavity field.

Multistability of electromagnetically induced transparency in atom-assisted optomechanical cavities

Yue Chang, Tao Shi, Yu-xi Liu +2 more

We study how an oscillating mirror affects the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) of an atomic ensemble confined in a gas cell, which is placed inside a microcavity with an oscillating mirror in one end. The cavity field acts as a probe of the EIT system and also produces a light pressure on the mirror. The back-action from the mirror to the cavity field results in several (from one to five) steady-states for this atom-assisted optomechanical cavity, producing a complex structure in its EIT. The multiequilibrium positions of the oscillating mirror have been calculated, and then the susceptibility is studied with respect to the different equilibrium positions. We find that the EIT of the atomic ensemble can be significantly changed by the oscillating mirror, and also the various steady states of the mirror have different effects on the EIT.

Optomechanical analog of two-color electromagnetically induced transparency: Photon transmission through an optomechanical device with a two-level system

Hui Wang, Xiu Quan Gu, Yu-xi Liu +2 more

Some optomechanical systems can be transparent to a probe field when a strong driving field is applied. These systems can provide an optomechanical analog of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). We study the transmission of a probe field through a hybrid optomechanical system consisting of a cavity and a mechanical resonator with a two-level system (qubit). The qubit might be an intrinsic defect inside the mechanical resonator, a superconducting artificial atom, or another two-level system. The mechanical resonator is coupled to the cavity field via radiation pressure and to the qubit via the Jaynes-Cummings interaction. We find that the dressed two-level system and mechanical phonon can form two sets of three-level systems. Thus, there are two transparency windows in the discussed system. We interpret this effect as an optomechanical analog of two-color EIT (or double EIT). We demonstrate how to switch between one and two EIT windows by changing the transition frequency of the qubit. We show that the absorption and dispersion of the system are mainly affected by the qubit-phonon coupling strength and the transition frequency of the qubit.

Control and manipulation of electromagnetically induced transparency in a nonlinear optomechanical system with two movable mirrors

S. Shahidani, M. H. Naderi, M. Soltanolkotabi

We consider an optomechanical cavity made by two moving mirrors which contain a Kerr-down-conversion nonlinear crystal. We show that the coherent oscillations of the two mechanical oscillators can lead to splitting in the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) resonance and the appearance of an absorption peak within the transparency window. In this configuration, the coherent-induced splitting of EIT is similar to driving a hyperfine transition in an atomic $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$-type three-level system by a radio-frequency or microwave field. Also, we show that the presence of nonlinearity provides an additional flexibility for adjusting the width of the transparency windows. The combination of an additional mechanical mode and the nonlinear crystal suggests new possibilities for adjusting the resonance frequency, the width and the spectral positions of the EIT windows, as well as the enhancement of the absorption peak within the transparency window.

Electromagnetically induced transparency of single Λ-type three-level atoms in a high-finesse optical cavity

孙燕芬, Lei Tan, 徐岩

We study the features of electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT) in a single Λ-type three-level atom placed in a high-finesse cavity under the action of a coupling laser and a probe laser.Our calculations show that three transparency windows appear when the pump strength is large enough.This can be explained by the residual pump in the cavity mostly resulting in energy splitting.The level |3 is split into four slightly different energy levels,and interference takes place between the excitation pathways.Furthermore,it is also shown that the frequencies of the EIT windows can be tuned by changing the coupling field detuning 2,and that the reflection profile is very sensitive to the cavity field detuning △c.
