The future of quantum communication systems and quantum networks heavily rely on the ability to fabricate and coherently control the conversion of photons between different modes based on a solid-state plateform. In this work, we propose and theoretically investigate a scheme to optomechanically control coherent mode conversion of optical photons by utilizing two optically coupled hybrid semiconductor microcavities containing a quantum dot (QD). One of the microcavity is pumped by an external laser and the second cavity is driven by light emitted by the QD that is embedded in the interface separating the two microcavities. The semiconductor microcavities can be fabricated using distributed Bragg reflectors and can be made movable. We have demonstrated that photon-mode-conversion efficiency can be coherently manipulated by the optomechanical mode under appropriate conditions.
