摘要

Taking nonlinear effect into account, we study theoretically the transmission properties of photons in a one-dimensional coupled cavity, the cavity located at the center of the cavity array being coupled to a two-level system. By using the traditional scattering theory and the mean-field approximation, we calculate the transmission rate of photons along the cavities, and discuss the effect of nonlinearity and the cavity-atom coupling on the photon transport. The results show that the cavity-atom couplings affect the coherent transport of photons. The dynamics of such a system is also studied by numerical simulations, the er effect the atom-field detuning and nonlinearity on the dynamics is shown and discussed.
