Optomechanically induced transparency

This lecture covers Optomechanically Induced Transparency (OMIT), a method to control light transmission in optomechanical systems. It explores the analogy with Electromagnetically Induced Transparency, discussing applications like optical switching, slow light, and pulse storage. The presentation delves into the dark state explanation of EIT, the full treatment with input-output theory, and experimental demonstrations. It also examines the comparison between EIT and OMIT, the concept of slow light, and controlling light with light at low power, concluding with the potential benefits of OMIT for ultralow light level switching, pulse delay, and light storage.
