Abstract
We investigate, theoretically, the effect of optical feedback from a cavity containing an ultracold two-level atomic ensemble, on the bistable behavior shown by a mean intracavity optical field in an optomechanical cavity resonator. It turns out that the optical bistability can be controlled by tuning the frequency and power of the driving laser and is largely affected by the presence of the atomic ensemble in the feedback cavity. In essence, our work emphasizes the possibility of realization of a controllable optical switch depending on the hybrid interaction, commanding lower threshold power than a single optomechanical cavity.
