Abstract Controllable transparency and slow light are discussed theoretically in a hybrid optomechanical system consisting of quantum dot molecules (QDMs). Fano resonance occurs when a pump laser is applied and its characteristics are investigated under controlling different system parameters. The group velocity index of slow light is analyzed and can be adjusted by the tunneling effect in the QDMs. Such a result may be used to design tunable optical buffer or in other quantum information processing.

1 Introduction In the past decades, the optomechanical system, known as a perfect platform to study quantum-mechanical behavior of macroscopic objects, has attracted a great deal of attention due to its potential application such as, optical switching and buffer (Chen et  al. 2011; Zhou et al. 2013; Yan et al. 2014; Liu et al. 2017; Bhattacherjee and Hasan 2018), ground state cooling (Schliesser et al. 2006; Gigan et al. 2006; Teufel et al. 2011; O’Connell et al. 2010; Guo et  al. 2014; Li et  al. 2019), photon blockade (Rabl 2011; Nunnenkamp et  al. 2011; Wang et al. 2015; Shi et al. 2018; Huang et al. 2018), sensing (Forstner et al. 2012; Mirza and van Enk 2014; Reinhardt et al. 2016; Kaviani et al. 2019), and so on. One of the most recent researches is optomechanical device based on a nanobeam slot-mode photonic crystal cavity by Kaviani et  al. (2019) which can be used to measure the orbital angular momentum of light. Simultaneously, many interesting phenomena have been examined thoroughly such as quantum entanglement (Farace and Giovannetti 2012; Wang et  al. 2014; Riedinger et  al. 2018), high-order sidebands (Xiong et  al. 2012; Kong et  al. 2017; Yang et al. 2017; Liu et al. 2018; Si et al. 2018; He 2019), optical bistability and multibility * Wenxing Yang [email protected] 1
