Abstract

Dipole-induced transparency (DIT) is one of the most well-known transparency effects in quantum optics and has wide applications in scalable quantum information processing and quantum computation. However, most of the existing literatures only focuses on the DIT effect with coherent dipole-cavity coupling, thus its universality in other types of coupling is still to be clarified. Here, we propose a feasible scheme to realize dissipative dipole-cavity coupling with the assistance of a highly dissipative microcavity, and explicitly exhibit cavity-mode attraction. We then investigate the DIT effect in a cavity-waveguide system with attractive cavity modes and find that it can still be achievable even though the probe light is resonant with two attractive cavity modes. Furthermore, we reveal its underlying transparency mechanism with eigenfrequencies and the effective susceptibility of the dipole-cavity system, and show that its transparency lies in the destructive interference of two attractive cavity modes with splitting damping rates instead of splitting resonance frequencies in coherent coupling. Moreover, we find that the attractive and repulsive phenomena of the effective susceptibility, which also plays an important role in the DIT effect, exist in the dipole-cavity system. Our findings may not only be of importance for gaining a more comprehensive understanding on the DIT effect, but also have potential applications in quantum networks.

Auxiliary cavity enhanced dipole induced transparency and fast to slow light using cavity quantum electrodynamics in a photonic crystal nanocavity

Hua‐Jun Chen, Bao-Cheng Hou, Jianyong Yang

We investigate the probe-field transmission in a hybrid cavity quantum electrodynamic (CQED) system, where one optical cavity containing a quantum dot (QD) with high cavity dissipation is coupled to another auxiliary cavity with a high quality factor. We also investigate the hybrid system operating in the weak coupling regime of the light-matter interaction via comparing the QD photon interaction with the dipole decay rate and the cavity field decay rate. It is shown that the dipole induced transparency (DIT) regime similar to electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) can be achieved due to the destructive interference of the cavity field in the weak coupling regime, which is extremely significant for the field of semiconductor CQED. The auxiliary cavity plays a key role in the hybrid system, which affords a quantum channel to affect the probe transmission leading to enhanced DIT. Further, DIT induced coherent optical propagation properties such as fast and slow light effects are also investigated based on the hybrid system for suitable parametric regimes. By controlling the coupling strength J and the decay rate ratio δ of the two cavities, tunable and controllable fast-to-slow light propagation can be achieved. This study provides a promising platform for understanding the dynamics of QD-CQED systems and may open up promising on chip applications in quantum information processing.

Multipartite entanglement generation with dipole induced transparency effect in indirectly coupled dipole-microcavity systems

Zhaohui Peng, Chun-Xia Jia, Yuqing Zhang Yuqing Zhang +2 more

We propose a feasible scheme of generating multipartite entanglement with the dipole induced transparency (DIT) effect in indirectly coupled dipole-microcavity systems. It is shown that the transmission spectrum is closely related with the interference of dipole-microcavity systems, and we can generate different classes of multipartite entanglement, e.g., the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state, the W state, and the Dicke state, of the dipole emitters just by choosing an appropriate frequency of the incident photon. Benefiting from the DIT effect, the schemes may work in the bad or low-Q cavity regime only if the large Purcell factor of the dipole-microcavity system is fulfilled, and they are also insensitive to experimental noise, which may be feasible with present accessible technology.

Complete transparency with three active-passive-coupled optical resonators

Xiao-Bo Yan, Liu Yang, Bing He

The phenomena of induced transparency, with the typical examples of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in atomic media and those based on coupled optical resonators, have attracted tremendous interest since their discoveries. Owing to the limitations of the involved physical elements, however, near-100\% transmissions were reported under highly demanding experimental conditions. With a structure of three linearly coupled optical resonators, an active one carrying optical gain and two passive ones simply with dissipation, we demonstrate that a transmitted light field can become completely transparent through the structure, which displays all properties similar to those of EIT. It is due to a destructive interference mechanism that totally eliminates the intracavity field in the dissipative resonator directly coupled to the transmitted field of any feasible power, when the coupling strength of two other resonators is tuned across a point determined by their associated gain and loss rates. This mechanism works for all possible coupling strengths of the dark resonator with the input field and its neighboring resonator, as well as for any available quality factor from its fabrication. The transparency window size and output field intensity can be freely adjusted by tuning two inter-cavity couplings of wide ranges, without modifying the built-in optical gain which can be just slightly stronger than the dissipation of the active resonator.

Induced Transparency with Optical Cavities

Haoye Qin, Ming Ding, Yiheng Yin

Induced transparency, an interference effect due to mode coupling, has attracted significant research interest. The first discovered and most striking type of induced transparency plays electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in atomic systems. Optical cavities serve as a more ideal and feasible platform for realizing the effects of induced transparency, which leads to considerable demonstrations in theory and experiments. This review provides a run‐through of research findings on different types of induced transparency phenomenon, including, inter alia, EIT, optomechanically induced transparency, plasmon‐induced transparency, Brillouin scattering induced transparency, optically induced transparency, photothermally induced transparency, and dipole‐induced transparency. Their mechanisms, developments, techniques, and applications are discussed in detail. Most importantly, the emerging area of induced transparency at exceptional points is analyzed for its great promise. The last section presents a brief summary and perspective of induced transparency with optical cavities.

Quantum networking with quantum dots coupled to micro-cavities

Edo Waks A, Deepak Sridharan, Jelena Vuckovic A

We describe an effect called Dipole Induced Transparency which enables a dipole emitter to strongly modify the cavity spectrum, even in the weak coupling regime. We then describe a method for generating entanglement and performing a full Bell measurement between two QDs using Dipole Induced Transparency. Finally, we show how DIT enables entanglement between QDs with vastly different radiative properties. The proposal is shown to be robust to cavity resonance mismatch.
