Abstract

We investigated the steady optical properties of the triple quantum dots, which obtain a tunneling-induced effect by using the external electric field. Our numerical results shown that the electromagnetically induced transparency can be achieved via the tunneling-induced effect. In addition, we examined the propagation dynamics of a probe field in this system and found that the probe field group velocities and their absorption were related to the tunneling coupling intensities. This finding allowed us to control the probe field to obtain ultraslow group velocities and a tunable optical switch. Finally, using this scheme it was possible to store and release the probe field by modulating the tunneling coupling sequences.
