Nonlinear Optomechanically Induced Transparency in a Spinning Kerr Resonator

We theoretically study optomechanically induced transparency in a spinning Kerr-nonlinear resonator. The interplay between the optical Kerr effect and the Sagnac effect provides a flexible tool for modifying the optomechanically induced transparency windows of the signal comparing to the system of a single spinning resonator. It is found that the system will exhibit distinct transparency phenomenon and fast-to-slow light effects. More importantly, a symmetric transparency window appears by adjusting the rotation-induced Sagnac frequency shift to compensate for the Kerr-induced frequency shift. These results open up a new way to explore novel light propagation of optomechanically induced transparency devices in spinning resonators with Kerr nonlinearity.
