Abstract

The effect of the interatomic dipole-dipole interaction on the single-photon transmission spectrum is investigated theoretically in the single-mode optical waveguide containing a pair of dipole interaction two-level atoms and the incident photon, respectively. The results show that the interatomic dipole-dipole interaction can induce a remarkable change in the photon-atom on-resonance frequency in the single-photon transmission spectrum compared with the nonexistence of the interatomic dipole-dipole interaction. As a consequence, the original zero transmission probability at the original photon-atom resonant frequency increases to one directly thanks to the appropriately-chosen dipole-dipole interaction strength. Consequently, this characteristic reveals that the interatomic dipole-dipole interaction treated as an important internal physical mechanism can perform as a functional quantum switching to manipulate the photon’s transmission in the optical waveguide. The corresponding interpretations responsible for this phenomenon are presented.
