Phase-dependent optical response properties in an optomechanical system by coherently driving the mechanical resonator

Abstract

We explore theoretically the optical response properties in an optomechanical system under an electromagnetically induced transparency condition but with the mechanical resonator being driven by an additional coherent field. In this configuration, more complex quantum coherent and interference phenomena occur. In particular, we find that the probe transmission spectra depend on the total phase of the applied fields. Our study also provides an efficient way to control propagation of a probe field from perfect absorption to remarkable amplification.
