Abstract

We investigate theoretically single photon transport in one-dimensional waveguide coupled to a pair of cavities, which are denoted by the first cavity and the auxiliary cavity. Two cases with no atom and one atom embedded in the first cavity are discussed. The Fano dips in the transmission spectrum and locations of transparency window are calculated. When no atom is embedded in the first cavity, there exists a transparency window under the condition that the first cavity and the auxiliary cavity are not resonant. The locations of the transparency window and Fano line type depend strongly on the eigen frequency of the auxiliary cavity and the coupling strength between the auxiliary cavity and the waveguide. When one atom is embedded in the first cavity, we show that the transparency window exists even though the first cavity, the atom and the auxiliary cavity are resonant. The Fano line type is strongly dependent on the eigen frequency of the auxiliary cavity and the coupling strength. Our results have potential applications in design of quantum devices at the level of single photon, such as single photon switch and single photon routers.

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.

Transmission Characteristics of Waveguide-Coupled Nanocavity Embedded in Two Atoms with Dipole-Dipole Interaction

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 transport properties in a waveguide–cavity system

Xiaofei Zang, Chun Jiang

We study single-photon transmission spectra in a waveguide coupled to two cavities embedded with one(two) two-level atom(atoms). When only the left cavity contains a two-level atom, single-photon transmission spectra can be modulated by changing the distance between the two cavities. Phase separation-induced transparency is acquired in such a system when each cavity contains a two-level atom. The influence of the dissipation of cavities and atoms on single-photon transport properties is also analysed. In addition, the experimental design of such an optical system is discussed.

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.

Controlling single-photon transport in an optical waveguide coupled to an optomechanical cavity with a Λ-type three-level atom

Yu-Qing Zhang, Zhong-Hua Zhu, Zhao-Hui Peng +4 more

Abstract We theoretically study the single-photon transport along a one-dimensional optical waveguide coupled to an optomechanical cavity containing a Λ-type three-level atom. Our numerical results show that the transmission spectra of the incident photon can be well controlled by such a hybrid atom-optomechanical system. The effects of the optomechanical coupling strength, the classical laser beam applied to the atom, atom-cavity detuning, and atomic dissipation on the single-photon transport properties are analyzed. It is of particular interest that an analogous double electromagnetically induced transparency emerges in the single-photon transmission spectra.

Resonator mediated controlling single photon transport in one-dimensional waveguide coupling to a giant atom

Guoqing Cai, Yunning Lu, Zhao Liu +2 more

We theoretically investigate coherent controlling single photon transport in one-dimensional waveguide coupled to a giant atom interacting with a resonator. The giant atom is considered as a Λ-type system. One transition of the atom couples to the waveguide and the other one is driven by the resonator. Single photon scattering amplitudes are calculated for three kinds of coupling schematics, respectively. Both the analytical and numerical results show that single photon scattering properties can be manipulated by adjusting the size of the giant atom, the coupling strengths of the waveguide-resonator and resonator-giant atom. Specifically, the transmission spectra exhibit two Rabi-splitting dips and the locations of the dips are strongly dependent on the size of the giant atom (GA). It also shows that the resonant single photon can be tuned from being transmitted to being reflected by controlling the coupling strength. Our results may find applications in designing quantum devices based on giant atom at single-photon level.
