腔光机械系统已被证明表现出类似于原子电磁感应透明，即当满足谐振条件时，强控制场诱导探测场传播的传输窗口。由控制激光束控制的尖锐传输特性使从力传感器到量子通信的许多应用成为可能。近年来，随着纳米光子学的发展和纳米加工技术的进步，对这一现象的理论和实验研究都取得了重大进展。已经发现光机械诱导的透明性表现在许多不同的物理机制中，例如，非线性光机械诱导透明、双光机械诱导透明、奇偶时间对称光机械诱导透明以及各种混合光机械系统中的光机械诱导透明等。这些结果提供了一种通向集成量子光机械存储器的途径，显示了这些芯片级光机械系统用于光缓冲、放大和滤波微波光信号的实用性，并且可以应用于现代光网络和未来的量子网络。本文系统地综述了光机械诱导透明的基本原理及其应用的最新研究进展。通过重点讨论几个有希望的主题，还提供了关于未来发展的观点和机会。
Cavity optomechanical systems have been shown to exhibit an analogon to atomic electromagnetically induced transparency that a transmission window for the propagation of the probe field is induced by a strong control field when the resonance condition is met. Sharp transmission features controlled by the control laser beam enable many applications ranging from force sensors to quantum communication. In recent years, there has been significant progress in both theoretical and experimental studies of this phenomenon, driven by the development of nanophotonics as well as the improvement of nano-fabrication techniques. Optomechanically induced transparency has been found to manifest in numerous different physical mechanisms, e.g., nonlinear optomechanically induced transparency, double optomechanically induced transparency, parity-time symmetric optomechanically induced transparency, and optomechanically induced transparency in various hybrid optomechanical systems, etc. These results offer a pathway towards an integrated quantum optomechanical memory, show the utility of these chip-scale optomechanical systems for optical buffering, amplification, and filtering of microwave-over-optical signals, and may be applicable to modern optical networks and future quantum networks. Here, we systematically review the latest research progress on the fundamentals and applications of optomechanically induced transparency. Perspectives and opportunities on future developments are also provided by focusing on several promising topics.
