Optical waveguide switches based on spatial arrangements inspired by electromagnetic induced transparency (EIT) concepts are presented. Interferometric control of optical signal by an optical gate is accomplished in three configurations. The first is employing a direct spatial version of EIT, the second is exploiting space reciprocity to accomplish performance not achievable in the time domain EIT and finally a novel version of EIT, using tunneling, is transformed into the spatial domain. For all configurations - closed form analysis as well as actual device simulation are presented.
