A metamaterial with a polarization-independent and angle-insensitive electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-like effect is theoretically investigated in the terahertz regime. The proposed metamaterial is composed of square rings and split isosceles triangle rings, which behave as bright elements and quasi-dark elements, respectively. An EIT-like phenomenon, which is caused by the destructive interference between different scattering paths via the bright and quasi-dark elements, is observed with a transparent window. This EIT mechanism is revealed with simulated field distributions as well as the analysis based on coupled-mode theory. Full wave simulations show that EIT-like phenomenon in the proposed metamaterial is independent of polarization and is robust to the angle of the incident light. This structure may have potential applications in terahertz detectors, sensors, and modulators.
