We investigate the optical properties of a hybrid solid-state optomechanical microcavity containing two coupled quantum wells interacting with the cavity mode in the presence of a third-order nonlinear medium and a mechanically compliant distributed Bragg reflector (MC-DBR). The MC-DBR interacts with the cavity mode via the nonlinear radiation pressure effect. The steady state mean-field analysis shows the existence of optical bistability, which can be utilized to design all optical tunable switch. The coupling between the two quantum wells, the interaction between the excitons and the optical mode, the Kerr nonlinearity, and the optomechanical interaction can be tuned to operate the optical switch at lower input laser power. The fluctuation dynamics demonstrate the presence of optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) and optomechanically induced absorption (OMIA). We find that both OMIT and OMIA can be manipulated efficiently by optomechanical coupling strength and the quantum well tunneling rate.
