Analogue of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency Based on Bright–Bright Mode Coupling Between Spoof Electric Localized Surface Plasmon and Electric Dipole

摘要

We report a novel type of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) analogue based on metamaterials (MMs) with hybrid structures, in which spiral and cut-wire structures serve as bright-mode resonators with the spoof electric localized surface plasmons and electric dipole resonance. With the simulations and experiments, the EIT analogue generated by the frequency detuning and hybridization between the resonators is verified. The simulated surface charge density and electric and magnetic field distributions, together with the theoretical analysis based on the Lorentz oscillator model, reveal the principle of the EIT analogue. Moreover, the transmission window of the MM demonstrates linear dependence on the refractive index's change of surrounding media, showing the potential as a tool for environmental detection.
