A modulatable electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is achieved using a slotted circle ring structure. The circle ring structure is used to induce a polarisation-independence resonance with a low Q factor, while the slot is etched to obtain a polarisation-dependence resonance with a high Q factor. The EIT effect is obtained when the two resonances have nearby resonant frequencies but with different Q factors. As both resonant modes are excited by the external field independently, different coupling strength is achieved simply by adjusting the polarisation angle. Then the transmission of EIT is successfully modulated. The design concept is well validated both by simulation and measurement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
