Ultraslow light realization using an interacting Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a shallow optical lattice

In this article, we propose an experimentally feasible scheme for the ultraslow light realization based on the optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) phenomenon using a hybrid optomechanical system consisting of a one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a shallow optical lattice considering the nonlinear effect of atom-atom interaction. It is shown how the system can switch from the normal mode splitting to the OMIT regime by manipulation of the s-wave scattering frequency of atomic collisions when the cavity is pumped at a fixed rate. Then, it is shown that an ultraslow light with a time delay more than 150 ms corresponding to a group velocity about 1 mm/s is achievable by controlling the optical lattice depth as well as the strength of atom-atom interaction and the number of atoms. Importantly, such an ultraslow light is detectable in the output of the cavity since it occurs in the frequency region of coupling-probe detuning where the reflection coefficient of the cavity is maximum.
