  We predict the existence of the electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA)
in the double cavity configurations of the hybrid opto-electro mechanical
systems (OEMS). We discuss the origin of the EIA in OEMS which exhibit the
existence of an absorption peak within the transparency window. We provide
analytical results for the width and the height of the EIA peak. The
combination of the EIT and EIA is especially useful for photon switching
applications. The EIA that we discuss is different from the one originally
discovered by Lezama et al in atomic systems and can be understood in terms of
the dynamics of three coupled oscillators (rather than two) under different
conditions on the relaxation parameters. The EIA we report can also be realized
in metamaterials and plasmonic structures.
