• Abstract: We study enhanced sensing of optomechanically induced nonlinearity (OMIN) in a cavity-waveguide coupled system. The Hamiltonian of the system is anti-PT symmetric with the two involved cavities being dissipatively coupled via the waveguide. When a weak waveguide-mediated coherent coupling is introduced, the anti-PT symmetry may break down. However, we find a strong bistable response of the cavity intensity to the OMIN near the cavity resonance, benefiting from linewidth suppression caused by the vacuum induced coherence. The joint effect of optical bistability and the linewidth suppression is inaccessible by the anti-PT symmetric system involving only dissipative coupling. Due to that, the sensitivity is greatly enhanced by two orders of magnitude compared to that for the anti-PT symmetric model. Moreover, the sensitivity shows resistances to a reasonably large cavity decay and robustness to fluctuations in the cavity-waveguide detuning. Based on the integrated optomechanical cavity-waveguide systems, the scheme can be used for sensing different physical quantities related to the single-photon coupling strength, and has potential applications in high-precision measurements with physical systems involving Kerr-type nonlinearity.

• Enhanced sensing of weak anharmonicities through coherences in dissipatively coupled anti-PT symmetric systems [0.0]
  We propose an alternate method relevant to dissipative systems, especially those coupled to the vacuum of the electromagnetic fields. In such systems, which typically show anti-PT symmetry and do not require the incorporation of gain, vacuum induces coherence between two modes. We demonstrate how this coherence can be exploited for the enhanced sensing of very weak anhamonicities at low pumping rates.
