Simultaneous realization of electromagnetically induced transparency and electromagnetically induced reflectance in a metasurface

The analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT-like) and electromagnetically induced reflectance (EIR-like) effects have been intensively studied and achieved by using metasurfaces. Nevertheless, previous designs could realize only one of them and were unable to support both effects in a metasurface. Here we numerically and experimentally demonstrate a metasurface simultaneously exhibiting EIT-like and EIR-like effects. Qualitative analyses and quantitative calculations based on the electromagnetic multipole decomposition method are performed to reveal their formation mechanisms. Our work offers a simple avenue for simultaneously realizing EIT-like and EIR-like effects in a metasurface, which may find potential applications in sensing, filtering, and slow wave devices.
