Abstract
We investigate the heat conduction between two one-dimensional waveguides intermediated by a laser-driving atom. The laser provides the optical control of the heat conduction. The tunable asymmetric conduction of the heat against the temperature gradient is realized. Assisted by the modulated laser, the heat conduction from either waveguide to the other waveguide can be suppressed. The heat currents can be significantly amplified by the energy flow of the laser.
