Photonic demultiplexer based on electromagnetically induced transparency resonances

International audienceWe give an analytical and experimental demonstration of the possibility to realize a simple photonic demultiplexer based on electromagnetically induced transparency resonances. The demultiplexer consists of a Y-shaped waveguide with an input line and two output lines. Each output line contains two grafted stubs at a given position far from the input line. We derive in closed form the expressions for a selective transfer of a single propagating mode through one line keeping the other line unaffected. We illustrate the analytical and numerical results by a simple experiment carried out using coaxial cables in the radio frequency domain
