  • Abstract
    We describe the principle and analyze the operation of an integrated optics directional coupler filter based on coupling between a regular waveguide and one that exhibits electromagnetically induced transparency. Bandwidth length products on the order of 2 pm × mm are obtainable, as an example, using this approach.
