“…This surprisingly strong antibunching was originated from the destructive quantum interference effect in the nonlinear photonic molecule [14,15]. This mechanism is universal and many different nonlinear systems are proposed to realize the UPB, including bimodal optical cavity with a quantum dot [16,17], coupled polaritonic systems [18], coupled optomechanical systems [19,20], or coupled single-mode cavities with second-or third-order nonlinearity [21][22][23].…”

In recent studies [Liew et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 183601 (2010); Bamba et al., Phys. Rev. A 83, 021802(R) (2011)], due to destructive interference between different paths for two-photon excitation, strong photon antibunching can be obtained in a photonic molecule consisting of two coupled cavity modes with weak Kerr nonlinearity when one of the cavity modes is driven resonantly. Here, we study the photon statistics in a nonlinear photonic molecule with both the two cavity modes being driven coherently. We show that the statistical properties of the photons can be controlled by regulating the coupling constant between the cavity modes, the strength ratio and the relative phase between the driving fields. The photonic molecules with two driven modes can be used to generate tunable single-photon sources or controlled photonic quantum gates with weak Kerr nonlinearity.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

“…We note that double cavity optomechanical systems have gained considerable importance because of many possible applications. These includes two-mode electromagnetically induced transparency [40], electromagnetically induced absorption [41], quantum state conversion [4], optical wavelength conversion [42], enhancing quantum nonlinearities [43], controllable optical bistability [44], photon blockade [45], quantum-nondemolition measurement [46] and entangled photon pair generation [5]. Let us denote the optical modes using the annihilation operators a i for the cavity i.…”

We propose a scheme generating robust squeezed light by using double cavity optomechanical system driven by a blue detuned laser in one cavity and by a red detuned laser in the other. This double cavity system is shown to mimic effectively an interaction that is similar to the one for the downconverter, which is known to be a source of strong squeezing for the light fields. There are however distinctions as the phonons, which lead to such an interaction, can contribute to the quantum noise. We show that the squeezing of the output fields in the order of 10dB can be achieved even at the mirror temperature at the order of 10mK.

“…The strong photon-photon correlation in this scheme is attributed by the destructive quantum interference between distinct driven-dissipative pathways [20,21]. Based on this mechanism, many different systems are proposed to realize the unconventional photon-blockade [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], moreover three oscillatory mode systems have also been considered [30].…”

Selective excitations of a Kerr-nonlinear resonator: exactly solvable approach

Abstract. We study Kerr nonlinear resonators (KNR) driven by a continuous wave field in quantum regimes where strong Kerr interactions give rise to selective resonant excitations of oscillatory modes. We use an exact quantum theory of KNR in the framework of the Fokker-Planck equation without any quantum state truncation or perturbation procedure. This approach allows non-perturbative consideration of KNR for various quantum operational regimes including cascaded processes between oscillatory states. We focus on understanding of multi-photon non-resonant and selective resonant excitations of introcavity mode depending on the detuning, the amplitude of the driving field and the strength of nonlinearity. The analysis is provided on the base of photon number distributions, the photon-number correlation function and the Wigner function.
