Abstract
In this work, we propose a scheme in three-mode optical systems to simulate a strongly coupled optomechanical system. The nonreciprocity observed in such a three-mode optomechanical circulatory system (OMCS) is explored. To be specific, we first derive a quantum Langevin equation (QLE) for the strongly coupled OMCS by suitably choosing the laser field, then we give a condition for the frequency of the laser and the mechanical decay rate, beyond which the optomechanical system has a unidirectional transmission regardless of how strong the optomechanical coupling is. The optomechanically induced transparency is also studied. The present results can be extended to a more general two-dimensional optomechanical system and a planar quantum network, and the prediction is possible to be observed in an optomechanical crystal or integrated quantum superconducting circuit. This scheme paves a way for the construction of various quantum devices that are necessary for quantum information processing.
