Antibunching photons in a cavity coupled to an optomechanical system    [PDF]

Xun-Wei Xu, Yuan-Jie Li

We study the photon statistics of a cavity linearly coupled to a optomechanical system via second order correlation functions. Our calculations show that the cavity can exhibit strong photon antibunching even when optomechanical interaction in the optomechanical system is weak. The cooperation between the weakly optomechanical interaction and the destructive interference between different paths for two photons excitation leads to the efficient photon blockade effect. Both analytical and numerical methods are implored to figure out our results.
