Abstract

We theoretically investigate tunable double optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) controlled by an external force exerted on the double cavity optomechanical system. It is shown that this system could manifest single OMIT effect or double OMIT effect by adjusting the external force. More importantly, slow-fast light conversion can be realizable by controlling the external force. The influence of the system parameters such as the coupling strength between the two cavities and the decay rates on the output field is analyzed. This force-induced double transparency could be applicable for further optical manipulation and force-dependent quantum metrology.
