Polarization-independent electromagnetically induced transparency-like transmission in coupled guided-mode resonance structures

摘要

We present two photonic systems that make it possible to realize polarization-independent electromagnetically induced transparency based on guided-mode resonances. Each system is composed of two planar dielectric waveguides and a two-dimensional photonic crystal. Using finite-difference time-domain simulations, we demonstrate that by coupling the two guided-mode resonances with low- and high-quality factors, a narrow transparency window is generated inside a broad background transmission dip produced by the guided-mode resonances. We also show that the time delay that occurs when light beams pass through the proposed systems can be controlled by adjusting the distance between the two waveguides.
