    Abstract

    We demonstrate an analogue of electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) in a magnetoelastic metamaterial system and experimentally realize nonlinear electromagnetic tuning of this EIT-like transmission. We study a single meta-molecule, consisting of two split-ring resonators (SRRs) and one closed-ring resonator, with one SRR free to rotate about the common axis of the structure in response to torques induced by the microwave pump. We observe EIT-like narrow-band resonant transmission in the carefully optimized device, which we characterize in a microwave waveguide, and verify that the resonance is due to the hybridized mode of all three resonators. We demonstrate nonlinear spectral narrowing and an increase of the group delay upon increasing the pump power and show the significant role of the intrinsic rotation of the freely rotatable SRR in this process.
