Plasmon induced transparency (PIT), known as the coupling of plasmon modes in metamaterials, has attracted intensive research interests in photonic applications. In this work, a PIT-like transparency is realized via the strong coupling of plasmonic dipole and epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) mode. Two types of metasurfaces, namely the gold nanoantenna and dolmen-like metasurface, are designed with an integrated ENZ material aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO) film. Simulations with the finite element method (FEM) demonstrate that single and double transparent windows are achieved respectively. The adjustments of the peak position and transmittance of transparent windows via the structure parameters and the AZO film thickness are further investigated. This work provides an alternative coupling scheme of realizing PIT-like transparency with simple metasurface design, and offers great potential for future metamaterial applications.
