Electromagnetically induced transparency

Caption

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is 'tuned' by two particles on the optical resonator. The different locations of particles control the propagation of light in either clockwise or counterclockwise directions, which switch on (upper configuration) or off (lower configuration) the interference of light, leading to controllable brightness (EIT) and darkness in the output.
