Abstract

We proposed an approach to tailor the mode interference effect in plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) metamaterials. Through introducing an extra coupling mode using an asymmetric structure configuration at terahertz (THz) frequencies, the well-known single-transparency-window PIT can be switched to dual-transparency-window PIT. Proof-of-concept subwavelength structures were fabricated and experimentally characterized. The measured results are in good agreement with the simulations, and well support our theoretical analysis. The presented research delivers a novel approach toward developing subwavelength devices with varies functionalities, such as ultra-slow group velocities, longitudinal pulse compression and light storage in the THz regime, which can also be extended to other spectral regimes.
