We introduce a plasmonic waveguide system, based on a plasmonic analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency, which supports a subwavelength slow-light mode, and exhibits a small group velocity dispersion. The system consists of a periodic array of two metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) stub resonators side-coupled to a MDM waveguide. Decreasing the frequency spacing between the two resonance...

We study the modification of a traditional electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) stored-light technique that includes both EIT and four-wave mixing (FWM) in an ensemble of hot Rb atoms. The standard treatment of light storage involves the coherent and reversible mapping of one photonic mode onto a collective spin coherence. It has been shown that unwanted, competing processes such as f...

A common choice to select λ so that a measure of noise performance is equal: a common choice is the noise figure (NF). However, this is only applicable when comparing algorithms with identical data. It is thus not suitable to compare across electrode positions or stimulation strategies (as illustrated in the example below). Noise Figure Distinguishability as a noise performance metric for EIT a...

We examine the phenomenon of electromagnetic transparency in semiconductor superlattices having various miniband dispersion laws in the presence of multi-frequency periodic and nonperiodic electric fields. Effects of induced transparency and spontaneous generation of static fields are discussed. We pay special attention to self-induced electromagnetic transparency and its correlation to dynamic...

On-chip plasmon-induced transparency offers the possibility of realization of ultrahigh-speed information processing chips. Unfortunately, little experimental progress has been made to date because it is difficult to obtain on-chip plasmon-induced transparency using only a single meta-molecule in plasmonic circuits. Here, we report a simple and efficient strategy to realize on-chip plasmon-indu...

Recent years have seen vast progress in the generation and detection of structured light, with potential applications in high capacity optical data storage and continuous variable quantum technologies. Here we measure the transmission of structured light through cold rubidium atoms and observe regions of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), using the phase profile as control paramete...

The rate of absorption of entangled photon pairs is linear in the photon-flux density. We demonstrate that the two-photon absorption cross section is a nonmonotonic function of the entanglement time; it vanishes for certain energy-level configurations and values of the entanglement time. This entanglement-induced two-photon transparency arises from the coherent summation of transition-amplitude...

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is a process where one laser (or electromagnetic field) is used to modify the absorption coefficient and refractive index seen by a probe laser, thereby allowing it to propagate in what would otherwise be an optically thick medium. Early experimental observations have focused on the total transmission of a weak probe laser [1]. More recent work has...

An analytic solution is found for SIT with two co-propagating pulses which are doubly resonant with two transitions sharing a common excited state. The pulse shapes are the usual hyperbolic secants, but the areas are not 2n. This solution satisfies the atomic equations exactly for all detunings and arbitrary relative amplitudes for the two pulses. The field equations, however, place extra restr...

We demonstrate that the presence of a (gyro) magnetic substrate can produce an analog of electromagnetically induced transparency in Fano-resonant metamolecules. The simplest implementation of such gyromagnetically induced transparency (GIT) in a metasurface, comprised of an array of resonant antenna pairs placed on a gyromagnetic substrate and illuminated by a normally incident electromagnetic...
