Spatially control of dispersion in a three-level assisted optomechanical system
Bin Xiao, Yan Huang
Abstract
Abstract In this letter, we propose a new model based on an optomechanical system to control the spatial properties of the dispersion spectrum of a weak cavity field. The optomechanical cavity consists of a three-level atomic system with ladder-type configuration. The atomic system interacts with the composite vortex light and a weak cavity field. The composite vortex light carries an orbital angular momentum (OAM), which can be used to adjust the spatial properties of the medium. We found that by controlling the OAM number of the composite vortex light, the spatial pattern of the dispersion spectrum can be controlled in different regions of space. By adjusting the dispersive control of the medium, the refraction and group indices can be optimized for application in quantum information processing.
