Plasmon-induced transparency in a single multimode stub resonator

We investigate electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-like effect in a metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) waveguide coupled to a single multimode stub resonator. Adjusting the geometrical parameters of the stub resonator, we can realize single or double plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) windows in the plasmonic structure. Moreover, the consistency between analytical results and finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations reveals that the PIT results from the destructive interference between resonance modes in the stub resonator. Compared with previous EIT-like scheme based on MDM waveguide, the plasmonic system takes the advantages of easy fabrication and compactness. The results may open up avenues for the control of light in highly integrated optical circuits.
