Optomechanically induced transparency in the presence of a strong Duffing nonlinearity

Abstract:We consider the combined effect of a Duffing nonlinearity and the optomechanical interaction on the cavity density of states (DOS), which is directly observable in optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) experiments. Both nonlinearities introduce the same type of interaction between polaritons, producing a distinct feature in the optical response. We derive the resonant condition that enhances the nonlinear scattering between polaritons and study the parameter dependence of the cavity DOS in detail. This allows us to characterize the typical strength and optimal conditions for observing the quantum effects of the Duffing nonlinearity in OMIT experiments.
