We investigate the dynamics of linear entropy of an atom in a tripartite cavity-optomechanical system consisting of a two-level atom in a high-finesse optical cavity with a vibrating mirror at one end. The influence of atomic coherence on the time evolution of linear entropy is examined. It is shown that a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger like state can be generated. Moreover, it is found that the entanglement between the atom and the subsystem of field and mirror can be controlled by atomic coherence and the parameters of optomechanical coupling coefficient and atom-field coupling strength.

SummaryFörster resonance energy transfer (FRET) probes being used to improve the resolution of stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy are numerically discussed. Besides the FRET efficiency and the excitation intensity, the fluorescence lifetimes of donor and acceptor are found to be another key parameter for the resolution enhancement. Using samples of FRET pairs with shorter donor lifetime and longer acceptor lifetime enhances the nonlinearity of the donor fluorescence, which leads to an increased resolution. The numerical simulation shows that a double resolution improvement of STED microscopy can be achieved by using Cy3-Atto647N samples when compared with that of using standard Cy3-only samples.

We have studied the dynamics and transfer of the entanglement of the two identical atoms simultaneously interacting with vacuum field by employing the dressed-state representation. The two atoms are driven by classical fields. The influence of the initial entanglement degree of two atoms, the coupling strength between the atom and the classical field and the detuning between the atomic transition frequency and the frequency of classical field on the entanglement and atomic linear entropy is discussed. The initial entanglement of the two atoms can be transferred into the entanglement between the atom and cavity field when the dissipation is neglected. The maximally entangled state between the atoms and cavity field can be obtained under some certain conditions. The time of disentanglement of two atoms can be controlled and manipulated by adjusting the detuning and classical driving fields. Moreover, the larger the cavity decay rate is, the more quickly the entanglement of the two atoms decays.
