Perfect photon absorption in hybrid atom-optomechanical system

In this paper, the optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) properties of weak probe light in a defect dielectric medium doped by four-level graphene nanostructure is theoretically discussed. The double dark resonance can arise by linear polarized control laser fields which consist of linear left and right circularly polarized light. We show that by adjusting the Rabi-frequencies of control fields, frequency detuning of bichromatic electric fields, the intensity threshold and hysteric curves of OB and OM can be manipulated. Moreover, the thickness of the slab is considered as a controllable parameter which can impact the OB and OM behaviors of weak probe light in a defect slab. We find that the transition from OB to OM or vice versa can be possible by adjusting the thickness of the slab. Our results may provide some new application on Nano-scale devices in future all-optical communication and quantum information technologies.

The steady-state optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) behavior in the quasi-Λ-type atomic system driven by a probe field and a coherent coupling field inside a unidirectional ring cavity are shown, and the effects of coupling-field detuning and coupling-field intensity on the OB and OM behavior are investigated. The transition from OB to OM or vice versa is found by varying the detuning of the coherent coupling field or by adjusting the intensity of the coupling field. The influence of the atomic cooperation parameter on the OM behavior is also discussed.

Optical bistability (OB) and optical multi-stability (OM) of a four-level Λ-type atomic system with two fold lower levels inside a unidirectional ring cavity is investigated. The effect of quantum interference arising from spontaneous emission and incoherent pumping on OB and OM is discussed. It is found that the threshold of OB and OM can be controlled by quantum interference mechanisms. In addition intensity of coupling field and the rate of an incoherent pumping field on behavior of OB and OM are then discussed.

Optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) behavior in molecular magnets is theoretically studied. It is demonstrated that the OB of the system can be controlled via adjusting the magnetic field intensity. In addition, it is shown that the frequency detuning of probe and coupling fields, as well as the cooperation parameter, has remarkable effects on the OB behavior of the system. Also, we find that OB can be converted to OM through the magnitude of control-field detuning. Our results can be used as a guideline for optimizing and controlling the switching process in the crystal of molecular magnets.

We discuss the optical bistability and multistability properties of incident light on a unidirectional ring cavity consisting of a hybrid semiconductor quantum dot-metal nanoparticle system driven by coupling and incoherent pumping fields. We consider the quantum dot system as a three-level V-type configuration which is placed near the metallic nanoparticle. We realize that the threshold of optical bistability and optical multistability can be controlled by tuning the center-to-center distance between quantum dots and metallic nanoparticles. Moreover, the effect of incoherent pumping field on optical bistability and optical multistability has been discussed for different distances between quantum dots and metallic nanoparticles.

In this letter, a comprehensive investigation has been conducted on the optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) phenomena manifested by transmitted light in a ring cavity consisting of a hybrid system of metal nanoparticle (MNP) and semiconductor quantum dot (SQD). Our study has been primarily devoted to examining the influence of the distance between SQD and MNP, as well as the susceptibilities of the SQD, the MNP, and the hybrid nanostructure as a whole, on the OB and OM traits of the transmitted light. Our discoveries demonstrate that a transition from OB to OM, or vice versa, can be accomplished for a definite distance between MNP and QD. It is our contention that our proposed model may have potential applications in the domain of quantum information processes based on SQD-MNP hybrid systems.

We proposed a new model for controlling the optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) in a defect slab doped with four-level GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum wells with 15 periods of 17.5 nm GaAs wells and 15-nm Al0.3 Ga0.7As barriers. The effects of biexciton energy renormalization, exciton spin relaxation, and thickness of the slab on the OB and OM properties of the defect slab were theoretically investigated. We found that the transition from OB to OM or vice versa is possible by adjusting the controllable parameters in a lab. Moreover, the transmission, reflection, and absorption properties of the weak probe light through the slab were also discussed in detail.

We study the absorption and optical bistability (OB) behavior of the superconducting phase quantum circuits in the four-level cascade and closed-loop configurations. It is shown that the OB is established in both configurations and it can be controlled by the intensity and frequency of applied fluxes. It is also demonstrated that the gain-assisted OB is generated in both configurations and can switch to the gain-assisted optical multistability (OM) only by changing the relative phase of applied fluxes in closed-loop quantum system. It is worth noting that the several significant output fluxes with negligible inputs can be seen in bistable behavior of the closed-loop configuration due to the nonlinear processing.

We investigated optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) behavior in a 35 nm solid Er3+: YAG crystal with a four-level system proposed for an atomic medium inside a unidirectional ring cavity. It is found that the intensity and frequency detuning of the signal and coupling fields as well as Er3+ concentration can influence the OB and OM behavior.

In this paper, our aim is to control optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) in a five-level system designed in a double quantum dot (QD) nanostructure. In a realistic example, this atomic system is created in two semiconductor QDs (In(x)Ga(1-x)N/GaN), owning transfer of carriers via tunneling effect. OB behavior is controlled not only by the inter-dot tunneling effect but also by variation of probe detuning and intensity of the control field. It is demonstrated that voltage-controlled detuning can significantly affect the behavior of OB and OM; therefore, the OM converts to OB by probe detuning and intensity of the control field.

The optical bistability and multistability in one-dimensional photonic crystal with the periodic metal-dielectric structure is investigated theoretically. In linear transmission, a structure with N periods will support N−1 resonant modes which correspond to the transmission peaks. Strong localized effect in these resonant modes is obtained. Optical bistability and multistability can be achieved when the incident wavelength is close to a resonance, which can be seen as an effect of the dynamic shifting of the wavelength of the resonant modes. It is found that the threshold for optical bistability in the periodic resonant structure is lower than the nonresonant metal-dielectric structure.

In this letter, we proposed a brand-new version for investigating the optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) through electron tunneling impact in a defect one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC). The defect layer of 1DPC is doped with double quantum dot (DQD) nanostructure which interacts with an indirect incoherent pump and a susceptible probe incident light, respectively. By the usage of the quantum mechanical density matrix method, we first examine the refractive index properties of the defect layer through electron tunneling and indirect incoherent pumping effects. Then, through the usage of the transfer matrix methods, we acquire the reflection and transmission coefficients of the defect 1DPC. At the end, we discuss the OB and OM properties of the reflected and transmitted lighting in negative refractive index situation of the DQD. We determine that during a few parametric conditions the switching from OB to OM or vice versa is feasible for reflected and transmitted light beams.

We investigate optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) behaviors in a triply driven five-level atomic system. It is shown that the system has bistable behavior and can be controlled by intensity of applied fields. We find that OB switches to OM via interference induced among the Rabi-split resonance. We consider a superposed one-dimension standing wave, generated by two optical fields, and it is demonstrated that the OB and OM behaviors depend on the position of localized atoms as well as the relative phase of applied fields.
