Tunable double optomechanical induced transparency in an optomechanical system with Bose–Einstein condensate

Abstract

We investigate the double optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) of a weak problem field in a hybrid optomechanical system, composed of a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC), a movable mirror and an optical cavity. Contrast to the single OMIT window in a traditional optomechanical system, the frequency difference between the BEC and the moving mirror in our system can lead to the splitting of the single OMIT window into two transparency windows. Interestingly, the splitting of the two windows varies near linearly with the frequency difference and is robust against the cavity decay. This property can be applied to detect the frequency of the movable mirror. Besides, the driving power and the BEC-cavity coupling strength play a key role in controlling the width of the two transparency windows.
