Optically Dark State in a Ring Cavity with Nanomechanical Mirrors    [PDF]

Sumei Huang
We study the effect of a strong coupling field on the absorptive property of a ring cavity with two mirrors oscillating at slightly different frequencies to a weak probe field. We find that three absorption peaks appear in the output probe field under the action of a strong coupling field. At high driving power, the narrow central peak represents a long-lived dark state of the transmitted probe field when the detuning between the probe field and the coupling field matches one-half the sum of the two mechanical frequencies. We observe the normal mode splitting in both the output probe field and the generated Stokes field. We also find that the suppression of the four-wave mixing process can be achieved on resonance. Such optomechanical systems hold promise for applications in optical information processing.
