We theoretically investigate the optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) phenomenon and the fast and slow light effects of a four-mode optomechanical system with the Kerr medium. The optomechanical system is composed of an array of three single-mode cavities and a mechanical oscillator. The three cavities are a passive cavity, a no-loss-gain cavity and a gain optical cavity, respectively. A Kerr medium is inserted in the passive cavity. We study the influence of the Kerr medium on the stability of the optomechanical system, and find that the stable regime of the optomechanical system can be adjusted by changing the Kerr coefficient. We demonstrate that the phenomenon of optomechanically induced transparency will appear when the Kerr medium exists in the optomechanical system and find that the frequency position of the absorption peak on the left increases linearly with the Kerr coefficient. In addition, we also investigate the fast and slow light effects in this system. The results show that we can control the fast and slow light by adjusting the Kerr coefficient, tunneling strength, and driving field strength. This study has potential application prospects in the fields of quantum optical devices and quantum information processing.

In this paper, we present a metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) waveguide side-coupled with bright-dark-bright mode cavities and double bright-dark mode cavities. The former shows a prominent plasmonic analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) spectra response, the latter shows double plasmonic analogue of EIT spectra response. The direct coupling strength between bright and dark mode resonators in the case of the second-order resonant mode is investigated in detail in our researches. The transmission spectrum and the slow light effects as a function of the cavity–cavity separation between resonators are further studied. Our researches investigate the coupling strength effects on the transmission and scattering properties in the case of the high-order resonance mode, which may provide a guideline for the control of light in highly integrated optical circuits.

Electromagnetically induced transparency is a quantum interference effect observed in atoms and molecules, in which the optical response of an atomic medium is controlled by an electromagnetic field. We demonstrated a form of induced transparency enabled by radiation-pressure coupling of an optical and a mechanical mode. A control optical beam tuned to a sideband transition of a micro-optomechanical system leads to destructive interference for the excitation of an intracavity probe field, inducing a tunable transparency window for the probe beam. Optomechanically induced transparency may be used for slowing and on-chip storage of light pulses via microfabricated optomechanical arrays.
