Abstract

Over the past decade, confinement of light to microscales has produced fruitful advancements in quantum optics. Cavity resonators are convenient tools of Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (CQED) to study interaction of light and matter. Large number of studies have been carried out on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre coupled with photonic crystal nanocavities. On the nanoscale level, the coupling of NV centre to cavities has been extensively studied (Vahala in Nature 424:839–846, 2003). These include microtoroids (Vuckovic in Quantum Optics and Nanophotonics. Oxford University Press, pp. 365–403, 2014), microdisks (Aspelmeyer et al. J Opt Soc Am B 27: 189, 2010), microsphere resonators (Aspelmeyer et al. in Phys Today 65:29, 2012), and PC nanocavities. In this article, we investigate the dynamics of hybrid optical system consisting of photonic crystal nanocavity having double NV centre in it. We look into the bistability and four-wave mixing of the system. In this study, it is shown that the system exhibits the phenomena of optical bistability, which can be achieved for some different combinations of system parameters, at a lower power. The system under consideration finds application in all optical switches and memory devices used in quantum information processing where system requires low power. We also find that the system under consideration exhibits four-wave mixing due to nonlinear behaviour of the system. The results so obtained can be employed to further understand the solid-state CQED. Since the NV centre has well-defined quantum states with well-defined bandgap, which can be easily initialised by optical pumping mechanism thereby making them a potential candidate in quantum information processing.
