Abstract

Controllable transparency and slow light are discussed theoretically in a hybrid optomechanical system consisting of quantum dot molecules (QDMs). Fano resonance occurs when a pump laser is applied and its characteristics are investigated under controlling different system parameters. The group velocity index of slow light is analyzed and can be adjusted by the tunneling effect in the QDMs. Such a result may be used to design tunable optical buffer or in other quantum information processing.
