(a) The transmission coefficients T21 (solid black curve) and T12 (dashed red curve) as a function of the detuning Δ/G. (b) The isolation as a function of the detuning Δ/G. (c) The equal-time second-order correlation function log10[gij(2)(0)] (ij=12,21) as a function of the detuning Δ/G. (d) The second-order correlation function log10[g21(2)(τ)] as a function of the normalized time delay γcτ/(2π) at detuning Δ=2G. The other parameters are Δm=Δ/2, G=3γc, ε=γc/10, γm=γc/100, and nth=0.
