Abstract

We demonstrate electromagnetically induced transparency and slow light in an optomechanical cavity, at cryogenic and ambient conditions, and show effects analogous to electromagnetically induced absorption.

Force-induced transparency and conversion between slow and fast light in optomechanics

Zhen Yu Wu, Ren-Hua Luo, Jian‐Qi Zhang +3 more

The optomechanics can generate fantastic effects of optics due to appropriate mechanical control. Here we theoretically study effects of slow and fast lights in a single-sided optomechanical cavity with an external force. The force-induced transparency of slow and fast lights and the force-dependent conversion between the slow and fast lights result from effects of the rotating-wave approximation (RWA) and the anti-RWA, which can be controlled by properly modifying the effective cavity frequency due to the external force. These force-induced phenomena can be applied to control the light group velocity and to detect the force variation, which are feasible using current laboratory techniques.

Enhancement of cavity ringdown effect using electromagnetically induced transparency

Wenge Yang, Amitabh Joshi, Min Xiao

We show that the unique absorption and dispersion properties of the electromagnetically induced transparency can be used effectively to enhance the cavity ringdown effect. By placing an EIT medium inside an optical resonator, the conditions for observing cavity ringdown oscillations are greatly relaxed.

Optomechanically Induced Transparency

Stefan Weis, R. Rivière, S. Deléglise +4 more

Electromagnetically induced transparency is a quantum interference effect observed in atoms and molecules, in which the optical response of an atomic medium is controlled by an electromagnetic field. We demonstrated a form of induced transparency enabled by radiation-pressure coupling of an optical and a mechanical mode. A control optical beam tuned to a sideband transition of a micro-optomechanical system leads to destructive interference for the excitation of an intracavity probe field, inducing a tunable transparency window for the probe beam. Optomechanically induced transparency may be used for slowing and on-chip storage of light pulses via microfabricated optomechanical arrays.

Enhancing Light-Matter Interactions in Nanophotonic Structures by Slow Light

Jesper Mørk, Torben Roland Nielsen

We discuss the conditions under which photonic crystal dispersion can be used to enhance light-matter interactions, e.g. by increasing the absorption sensitivity or the degree of light-speed control obtained via electromagnetically induced transparency.
