Abstract

We show how interference effects are responsible for manipulating the output electromagnetic field of an optical microresonator in the good-cavity limit. The system of interest consists of a moderately strongly pumped two-level emitter embedded in the optical cavity. When an additional weaker laser of the same frequency is pumping the combined system through one of the resonator's mirrors then the output-cavity-electromagnetic field can be almost completely suppressed or enhanced. This is due to the interference among the scattered light by the strongly pumped atom into the cavity mode and the incident weaker laser field. The result applies to photonic crystal environments as well.
