Abstract

We theoretically investigate optical bistability in a hybrid optomechanical system composed of an optical cavity coupled to a mechanical resonator embedded with a two-level system (TLS). The primary mechanical resonator is further coupled to an additional mechanical resonator. The nonlinearity of the system gives rise to optical bistability. We examine the influence of various system parameters on bistability. In addition, we also analyze the transmission properties of the system and observe optomechanically induced opacity (OIO) at strong optomechanical coupling. Furthermore, complete optomechanically induced transparency (OIT) emerges at higher coupling strengths between the TLS and the mechanical resonator. Our results demonstrate a tunable transition between optomechanically induced opacity (OIO) and transparency (OIT), which may have potential applications in optical sensing.
