Superluminal pulse propagation in a one-sided nanomechanical cavity system

Abstract

We investigate the propagation of a pulse field in an optomechanical system. We examine the question of advance of the pulse under the conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency in the mechanical system contained in a high quality cavity. We show that the group delay can be controlled by the power of the coupling field. The time delay is negative which corresponds to superluminal light when there is a strong coupling between the nano-oscillator and the cavity.
