Abstract

The superluminal light and subluminal light behaviors of the output probe field are investigated theoretically in a hybrid quadratically coupled optomechanical system embedded with quantum dot molecules. A strong light field and a weak probe light field drive the optomechanical cavity. Various system parameters like tunneling strength, quadratic optomechanical coupling, the number of molecules of quantum dots and so on can coherently control the subluminal light and superluminal light of the output probe field. The influence of various system parameters on the output probe field is very helpful in optical devices and quantum units used in information processing.
