    (a) Schematic diagram for the tunable interaction-free all-optical switching in a five-level atom-cavity system. (b) The schematic diagram of the input–output channels. (c) The detailed output states of the all-optical switching. When there is no control light, there is output signal light from the transmission channel, but no light from the reflection channel; when the control light is on, the signal light cannot be coupled into the cavity, the output is switched to the reflection channel, and there is no output light from the transmission channel. There is no direct coupling between the signal light and the control light.
