Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and EIT-like effects have been investigated in a wide variety of coupled resonant systems. Here, a classification of the phase characteristics of the EIT-like spectral responses is presented. Newly identified phase responses reveal unexplored operation regimes of EIT-like systems. Taking advantage of these new phase regimes, one can obtain group delay, dispersion and nonlinearity properties greatly enhanced by almost one order of magnitude, compared to the traditionally constructed EIT-like devices, all of which breaks the fundamental limitation (e.g. delay–bandwidth product) intrinsic to atomic EIT and EIT-like effects. Optical devices and electrical circuits are analyzed as examples showing the universality of our finding. We show that cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED)-based quantum phase gates can be greatly improved to achieve a phase shift of π. The new phase characteristics are also believed to be useful to build novel doubly resonant devices in quantum information based cavity QED, optomechanics and metamaterials.
