We developed an experimental setup for electromagnetically induced transparency able to manufacture microcells, suitable for optical fiber communications technology. A hollow‐core photonic crystal fiber (HC‐PCF) is filled with acetylene, to work in the 1500 nm telecommunications window. We used a HC‐PCF with the mode‐field diameter compatible with standard single‐mode fibers, with the purpose of achieving low‐loss splicing and enabling us to work at low pumping powers. This allows to induce a narrow transparency window, which can be spectrally adjusted and dynamically controlled. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 57:348–352, 2015
