We consider a simple configuration for realizing one-dimensional slow-light
metamaterials with large bandwidth-delay products using stub-shaped Fabry-Perot
resonators as building blocks. Each metaatom gives rise to large group indices
due to a classical analog of the dressed-state picture of
electromagnetically-induced transparency. By connecting up to eight metaatoms,
we find bandwidth-delay products over unity and group indices approaching 100.
Our approach is quite general and can be applied to any type of Fabry-Perot
resonators and tuned to different operating wavelengths
