Tunable magnomechanically induced transparency and fast-slow light in a hybrid cavity magnomechanical system

We theoretically explore the tunability of magnomechanically induced transparency (MMIT) phenomenon and fast-slow light effect in a hybrid cavity magnomechanical system in which a high-quality yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere and an atomic ensemble are placed inside a microwave cavity. In the probe output spectrum, we can observe magnon-induced transparency (MIT) and MMIT due to the photon-magnon and phonon-magnon couplings. We further investigate the effect of atomic ensemble on the absorption spectrum. The results show that better transparency can be obtained by choosing appropriate atomic ensemble parameters. We give an explicit explanation for the mechanism of the Fano resonance phenomenon. Moreover, we discuss phenomena of slow-light propagation. The maximum group delay increases significantly with the increasing atom-cavity coupling strength, and the conversion between slow light and fast light can also be achieved by adjusting the atom-cavity coupling strength. These results may have potential applications for quantum information processing and high precision measurements.

Automated summary

We explore the tunability of magnomechanically induced transparency (MMIT) and fast-slow light effect in a hybrid cavity magnomechanical system. By adjusting the parameters, we observe magnon-induced transparency (MIT) and MMIT in the probe output spectrum. We also investigate the effect of atomic ensemble on the absorption spectrum and discuss phenomena of slow-light propagation.
