Photon blockade in a bi-mode nonlinear nano-cavity embedded with a quantum-dot

Abstract

We study the interaction between a quantum-dot and a bi-mode micro/nano-optical cavity composed of second-order nonlinear materials. Compared with the Jaynes-Cummings (J-C) model, except for a coherent weak driving field, a strong pump light illuminates the two-mode optical cavity. Analytical results indicate that the model exhibits abundant non-classical optical phenomena, such as conventional photon blockade induced by the nonlinear interaction between polaritons. It constitutes unconventional photon blockade induced by quantum interference due to parametric driving. We compare the photon statistical properties and average photon number of the proposed model, J-C model, and double-mode driven optical cavity under the same parameters and the proposed model can obtain stronger antibunching photons and higher average photon number.
