Abstract
We theoretically analyze the phenomenon of Optomechanically Induced Transparency (OMIT) of a weak probe field in a hybrid optomechanical system, consisting of an optical cavity, a mechanical resonator and Quantum Dot molecules(QDs), in addition, in some parameter regimes, the probe transmission can exceed unity. Furthermore, the phase dispersion and group delay at the frequency of the probe field have been studied, we can control the fast light effect by tuning the driving field and tunneling coupling, attributed to quantum interference and Tunneling effect, it provides a flexible way to control optical response and propagation in such a hybrid optomechanical system.
