Controlled processing of signal stored in metamaterial with tripod   structure
  In the present paper we have discussed in detail electromagnetically induced transparency and signal storing in the case of one signal pulses propagating in a classical electric medium resembling this of four-level atoms in the tripod configuration. Our theoretical results confirm recently observed dependence of transparency windows position on coupling parameters. In the process of storing the pulse energy is confined inside the metamaterial as electric charge oscillations and after required time it is possible to switch the control fields on again and to release the trapped signal. By manipulating the driving fields one can thus control the parameters of the released signal and even to divide it on demand into arbitrary parts.
