Single Photon Router in the Optical Regime Based on a Cavity Optomechanical System With a Bose–Einstein Condensate

We propose a novel scheme of a single photon router based on a coupled Bose-Einstein condensate cavity system. The numerical results obtained show that by controlling the route of the probe photon using an appropriate pump beam, this coupled system can serve as a single photon router. Importantly, this router works well in the optical regime, instead of the microwave regime, and at an ultralow pump power. The scheme, proposed here, may have potential applications in optical signal processing, communication, and quantum information networks.
