Description
Summary:We present a novel approach for actively controlling electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) analogs in a single-mode microstrip cavity. This cavity is side-coupled with a pair of varactor-loaded split-ring resonators (SRRs). The EIT-like effect is achieved through resonance hybridization between the paired SRRs with frequency detuning. The microstrip cavity is utilized to enhance the EIT-like transmission properties, including Q-factor and group delay. Varactor diodes, soldered at the gap of the SRRs, are biased electrically through a DC voltage source. This dynamic modulation setup allows for the tuning of the enhanced EIT analog. Experimental results demonstrate that the enhanced EIT-like transmission spectrum can be tuned reversibly by 378 MHz with respect to the transmission dip frequency of 2.464 GHz under the bias voltage ranging from 0 to 5 V. Simultaneously, the controlled transmission spectrum enables a remarkable change in group delay of 10.9 ns. Moreover, the modulation amplitude of the composite SRRs-cavity structure reaches a peak value of up to 34.5 dB, significantly higher than the 6.4 dB of the individual SRRs pair. These results hold promise for inspiring innovation in actively controlled photonic devices for practical applications.
