Analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency with modulatable transmission

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.
