Abstract
We theoretically study the second-order sideband generation and slow-fast light effects in a parity-time (PT) symmetric optomechanical system, which consists of an active cavity and a passive cavity containing optical parametric amplifier (OPA). Compared to the double-passive nonlinear system, we find that the second-order sideband efficiency can be significantly enhanced by the tunneling strength in the PT-symmetric system with OPA. The flexible manipulation of the second-order generation also can be realized by modulating OPA gain and phase. Moreover, the fast and slow light effects in the optomechanical system are discussed. When the tunneling strength J=3κ1, the time of the second-order sideband group delay can be effectively prolonged in a PT-symmetric cavity in the presence of OPA. The results may have some guidance for the enhancement of second-order sideband efficiency, which has potential applications in optical communication and storage.
