Abstract
In this paper we theoretically show that counterpart photonic Cooper pairs can be achieved in nanoscale waveguides with radiation pressure effect. We demonstrate that due to Brillouin scattering a Stokes photon and an anti-Stokes one can exchange virtual phonons, leading to an effective photon-photon interaction. The effective interaction Hamiltonian of the two photons is identical to that for electrons in the BCS theory, and the photonic counterpart of the superconducting energy gap can appear. Quite different from the conventional stimulated Brillouin scattering the number of photon pairs can be amplified. The result could be used as a photon-pair laser and might have a possible application in integrated optics and quantum information processing in the future.
