Abstract

In this paper, we theoretically investigate the optical response properties in a Laguerre-Gaussian (L-G) rovibrational cavity system driven by an external mechanical pump. The L-G rovibrational-cavity system assisted by an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) provides a well-established optomechanical circumstance to manipulate the double-optomechanically induced transparency and optical second-order sideband generation (OSSG). It shows that the mechanical pump and OPA further enhances or suppresses the probe transmission strength. The tunable conversion between slow and fast light can be realized by simultaneously modulating the amplitude and phase of mechanical pump and the enhancement or suppression of slow and fast light effects is also sensitive to the gain coefficient of OPA. Moreover, we find that the presence of the OPA promotes the efficiency of the OSSG. These results provide a more flexible approach to controlling light propagation and are helpful for quantum information processing.
