Stable controlling of electromagnetically induced transparency-like in a single quasi-cylindrical microresonator.

Abstract

We experimentally and theoretically demonstrate electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-like and Fano resonance in a single quasi-cylindrical microresonator (QCMR). Stable controlling of the EIT and Fano resonance lineshapes can be achieved by vertically moving the resonator along its axis while in touch with the tapered fiber. Moreover, by horizontally scanning the coupling point along the tapered fiber, asymmetric Fano resonances of the transmission spectra are observed and can be engineered to vary periodically. Interestingly, the two different kinds of mechanisms that induce the Fano or EIT resonances can work on the same mode simultaneously. Our device offers a stable platform for controlling the EIT and Fano resonances and holds unique potential in all-optical switching, quantum information processing and sensitivity-enhanced sensing applications.
