“…It is worth emphasizing that the double-cavity model here is very different from that studied in Refs. [14] and [45], in which the MR is partially transmissive. The MR has an eigenfrequency ω m and a decay rate γ m and thus has a mechanical quality factor Q of ω m /γ m .…”

We study optomechanically induced amplification and perfect transparency in a double-cavity optomechanical system. We find that if two control lasers with appropriate amplitudes and detunings are applied to drive the system, optomechanically induced amplification of a probe laser can occur. In addition, perfect optomechanically induced transparency, which is robust to mechanical dissipation, can be realized by the same type of driving. These results indicate important progress toward signal amplification, light storage, fast light, and slow light in quantum information processes.

“…Recently it has been shown that the light fields coupled to an optical cavity with an intra-cavity absorber can be completely absorbed and no light can escape through the cavity [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Such a cavity-absorber system acts as a coherent perfect absorber and may be useful for a variety of fundamental studies and practical applications [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

We propose and analyze a scheme for controlling coherent photon transmission and reflection in a cavity-quantum-electrodynamics (CQED) system consisting of an optical resonator coupled with three-level atoms coherently prepared by a control laser from free space. When the control laser is off and the cavity is excited by two identical light fields from two ends of the cavity, the two input light fields can be completely absorbed by the CQED system and the light energy is converted into the excitation of the polariton states, but no light can escape from the cavity. Two distinct cases of controlling the perfect photon absorption are analyzed: (a) when the control laser is tuned to the atomic resonance and creates electromagnetically induced transparency, the prefect photon absorption is suppressed and the input light fields are nearly completely transmitted through the cavity; (b) when the control laser is tuned to the polariton state resonance and inhibits the polariton state excitation, the perfect photon absorption is again suppressed and the input light fields are nearly completely reflected from the cavity. Thus, the CQED system can act as a perfect absorber or near perfect transmitter/reflector by simply turning off or on of the control laser. Such interference control of the coherent photon-atom interaction in the CQED system should be useful for a variety of applications in optical logical devices.

“…Also similar coherent perfect photon absorption has been studied in a cavity opto-mechanical system [18] and a cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED) system [19]. A basic CQED system can act as a coherent perfect absorber so long as the CQED system is in the strong coupling regime and the two input fields are tuned near the atomic resonance.…”

Perfect photon absorption in the nonlinear regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics

It has been shown that perfect photon absorption can occur in the linear excitation regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED), in which photons from two identical light fields coupled into two ends of the cavity are completely absorbed and result in excitation of the polariton state of the CQED system. The output light from the cavity is totally suppressed by the destructive interference and the polariton state can only decay incoherently back to the ground state. Here we analyze the perfect photon absorption and onset of optical bistability in the nonlinear regime of the CQED and show that the perfect photon absorption persists in the nonlinear regime of the CQED below the threshold of the optical bistability. Therefore the perfect photon absorption is a phenomenon that can be observed in both linear and nonlinear regimes of CQED. Furthermore, our study reveals for the first time that the optical bistability is influenced by the input-light interference and can be manipulated by varying the relative phase of the two input fields.
