Electromagnetically induced transparency in metamaterials allows to engineer structures which transmit narrow spectral ranges of radiation while exhibiting a large group index. Implementation of this phenomenon frequently calls for strong near-field coupling of bright (dipolar) resonances to dark (multipolar) resonances in the meta-molecules comprising the metamaterials. The sharpness and contrast of the resulting transparency windows thus depends strongly on how closely these meta-moleucles can be placed to one another, placing constraints on fabrication capabilities. In this manuscript we demonstrate that the reliance on near-field interaction strength can be relaxed, and the magnitude of the electromagnetic induced transparency enhanced, by exploiting the long range coupling between meta-molecules in periodic lattices. By placing dolmen structures resonant at THz frequencies in a periodic lattice, we show a significant increase of the transparency window when the in-plane diffraction is tuned to the resonant frequency of the meta-molecules, as confirmed by direct mapping of the THz near-field amplitude across a lattice of dolmens. Through the direct interrogation of the dark resonance in the near-field we show the interplay of near- and far-field couplings in optimizing the response of planar dolmen arrays via diffraction induced transparency.
