FN ISI Export Format VR 1.0 PT J TI Near-field investigation of induced transparency in similarly oriented double split-ring resonators AF Merbold, Hannes Bitzer, Andreas Feurer, Thomas AU Merbold, H Bitzer, A Feurer, T SO Optics Letters VL 36 BP 1683 EP 1685 PY 2011 AB We present near-field measurements of an induced transparency behavior using a double split-ring resonator geometry. Mapping the out-of-plane electric field component directly reveals that the induced transparency is linked to an asymmetric mode profile with the subunits oscillating in antiphase. The measurements are compared to complementary numerical simulations, and excellent agreement is found. DI 10.1364/OL.36.001683 ER
