Optical nonreciprocity and slow light in coupled spinning optomechanical resonators
Abstract:
We study the optical transmission characteristics of coupled spinning optomechanical resonators with pump-probe driven lasers. Under the steady-state conditions, we focus on how changing the optical Sagnac effect due to same or opposite spinning directions of the resonators can give rise to non-reciprocal and delayed probe light transmission. We find that coupled resonators can exhibit distinct transmission features, can generate negative group delays (slow as well as fast light) and offer additional control of the probe light transmission as compared to the case of a single spinning resonator. Our results can be useful in achieving chiral light propagation in quantum communication technologies without using traditional magneto-optical means.

The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...

The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...
