Abstract

We theoretically investigate the phenomenon of optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT), the measurement of the atom-photon coupling strength and orbital angular momentum (OAM) in a double-Laguerre-Gaussian rotating cavity optomechanical system. The vibration mirror cavity optomechanical system traps the atomic ensemble. We study the influence of the atomic ensemble on the OMIT windows, and give an explicit explanation of the physical mechanism. We find that the normal-mode splitting (NMS) phenomenon occurs in double L-G cavity modes when the tunneling strength increases to a certain extent. We find that the distance between the peaks of the absorption on both sides changes nearly linearly with the pump laser power and the single atom-photon coupling strength. Additionally, we also propose a scheme for measuring the atom-photon coupling strength and orbital angular momentum (OAM). This research is of great significance in the field of high-precision measurement and quantum information processing.
