Plasmonic electromagnetically-induced transparency in symmetric structures

A broken symmetry is generally believed to be a prerequisite for plasmonic electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT), since the asymmetry allows the excitation of the otherwise forbidden dark mode. Nevertheless, according to the picture of magnetic plasmon resonance (MPR)-mediated plasmonic EIT...

Description
Summary:A broken symmetry is generally believed to be a prerequisite for plasmonic electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT), since the asymmetry allows the excitation of the otherwise forbidden dark mode. Nevertheless, according to the picture of magnetic plasmon resonance (MPR)-mediated plasmonic EIT, we show that plasmonic EIT can be achieved even in symmetric structures based on the second-order MPR. This not only sharpens our understanding of the existing concept, but also provides a profound insight into the plasmonic coherent interference in the near-field zone.
