Abstract

We theoretically explore the nonlinear optical response including optical bistability and four-wave mixing (FWM) process in a hybrid cavity quantum electrodynamic (C-QED) system. The hybrid C-QED system consists of a quantum dot (QD) which is coherently driven by two-tone laser fields and embedded in an optomechanical photonic crystal (PhC) nanocavity. Our theoretical analysis demonstrates optical bistability, where the steady-state photon number follows a constant rise in the gain of the switch by controlling a strong pump field driving the QD. A strong coupling between quantised fields and matter (e.g. in optical cavities) is a successful approach for conventionally modifying the dressed state and by altering the field parameters, the modulation of QD dressed state is accomplished. In addition, we list the influence of off-resonant detuning, exciton-nanocavity coupling strength and Rabi coupling strength in our proposed system which generates a controllable four-wave mixing (FWM) signal in the output probe field of the system. The intensity of the FWM is significantly changed when strong coupling and high pump power are present simultaneously and results in the formation of an optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) window and slow light. The investigation of the proposed system have potential application towards on-chip QD-based nanophotonic devices.
