Controllable single-photon transport in an optical waveguide coupled to an optomechanical cavity with a V-type three-level atom

Abstract

We theoretically study the single-photon transport along a one-dimensional optical waveguide coupled to an optomechanical cavity containing a Lambda-type three-level atom. Our numerical results show that the transmission spectra of the incident photon can be well controlled by such a hybrid atom-optomechanical system. The effects of the optomechanical coupling strength, the classical laser beam applied to the atom, atom-cavity detuning, and atomic dissipation on the single-photon transport properties are analyzed. It is of particular interest that an analogous double electromagnetically induced transparency emerges in the single-photon transmission spectra.
