Abstract

We theoretically investigate optical bistability, mechanically induced\nabsorption (MIA) and Fano resonance of a hybrid system comprising of a single\nquantum dot (QD) embedded in a solid state microcavity interacting with the\nquantized cavity mode and the deformation potential associated with the lattice\nvibration. We find that the bistability can be tuned by the QD-cavity mode\ncoupling. We further show that the normalized power transmission displays\nanomalous dispersion indicating that the system can be used to generate slow\nlight. We also demonstrate the possibility of using the system as all\noptomechanical Kerr switch.\n
