• Abstract summary: We propose a scheme to enhance the single- and two-photon blockade effect significantly in a standard optomechanical system. The scheme does not rely on the strong single-photon optomechanical coupling. We find that not only the two-photon blockade (2PB) effect is significantly enhanced but also the region of 2PB occurring is widened when the OPA exists.

• Abstract: We propose a scheme to enhance the single- and two-photon blockade effect significantly in a standard optomechanical system (OMS) via optical parametric amplification (OPA). The scheme does not rely on the strong single-photon optomechanical coupling and can eliminate the disadvantages of suppressing multi-photon excitation incompletely. Through analyzing the single-photon blockade (1PB) mechanism and optimizing the system parameters, we obtain a perfect 1PB with a high occupancy probability of single-photon excitation, which means that a high quality and efficient single-photon source can be generated. Moreover, we find that not only the two-photon blockade (2PB) effect is significantly enhanced but also the region of 2PB occurring is widened when the OPA exists, where we also derive the optimal parameter condition to maximize the two-photon emission and the higher photon excitations are intensely suppressed at the same time.

  We study the behaviour of the second-order correlation function in a double cavity optomechanical system.

  Single-photon blockade (1PB) in the quasichiral regime of atom-photon interaction mediates via dissipative environment. We find that in the quasichiral regime, the unconventional photon blockade (UPB) always incorporates with the conventional photon blockade (CPB) in the condition of maximum chirality. Our work paves the way for 1PB towards practical applications and reveals the intriguing quantum-optics phenomena in the quasichiral light-matter interaction.
