Mechanical engineering of photon blockades in a cavity optomechanical system


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We propose to mechanically control photon blockades (PB) in an optomechanical system with driving oscillators. We show that by tuning the mechanical driving parameters we achieve selective single-photon blockade (1PB) or two-photon blockade (2PB) as well as simultaneous 1PB and 2PB at the same frequency. This mechanical engineering of 1PB and 2PB can be understood from the anharmonic energy levels due to the modulation of the mechanical driving. In contrast to the optomechanical systems without any mechanical driving featuring PB only for specific optical detuning, our results can be useful for achieving novel photon sources with multi-frequency. Our work also opens up new route to mechanically engineer quantum states exhibiting highly nonclassical photon statistics.
