Flexible Control of Two-Channel Transmission and Group Delay in an Optomechanical System with Double Quantum Dots Driven by External Field

Abstract

With the presence of a driving field applied to double quantum dots and a control field applied on the cavity, the transmission performance and group delay effect of a probe field have been theoretically studied in a hybrid optomechanical system (HOMS). Due to the interaction between the mechanical mode and the double quantum dots system, double optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) arises in the HOMS. With the assistance of a driving field, the system can be tuned to switch on any one of the two OMIT windows, switch on both of the two OMIT windows or switch off both of the two OMIT windows by dynamically adjusting control of the optical field and the driving field. Furthermore, the transmitted probe fields of the two OMIT windows can be tuned to be absorbed or amplified with proper parameters of the driving field and control field. Moreover, the transmission properties of the two OMIT windows are asymmetrical. One can obtain the maximum group delay time of the probe field by optimizing the amplitude and phase of the driving field. These results provide a new way for constructing optically controlled nanostructured photonic switch and storage devices.
