摘要
The manipulation of photons is a key technology for obtaining optical quantum information. In this study, we present a phase-modulated optomechanical system comprising two coupled cavity resonators and illustrate the phase-controlled photon blockade in the system. The coupling phase of the cavities reveals the interference of photons and introduces an unconventional photon-blockade effect. We also study the influence of the energy level fineness on the photon blockade and resonant frequency of the mechanical mode. Numerical simulations demonstrate that photon blockade can occur over a wide range of system parameters. These results have sev-eral implications for understanding the role of the state phase in quantum cavity optomechanics and provide a promising method for the realization of optomechanical quantum devices using photon blockade.
