Broadband corner cloak using a uniaxial transformation medium of stacked artificial dielectric sheets

Broadband surface-wave transformation cloak.

Guiding surface electromagnetic waves around disorder without disturbing the wave amplitude or phase is in great demand for modern photonic and plasmonic devices, but is fundamentally difficult to realize because light momentum must be conserved in a scattering event. A partial realization has been achieved by exploiting topological electromagnetic surface states, but this approach is limited t...

Multifrequency cloak with multishell by using transformation medium

We theoretically investigate multifrequency cloak based on multishell by using transformation medium. As for each shell, we use the Maxwell–Garnett theory and the spectral representation theory to design the permittivity profile for the transverse magnetic wave. The plasma frequencies of the metals used in the inner B and outer C shells must satisfy 1 pC 2 pB. In such case, incident electromagn...

Experimental verification of broadband cloaking using a volumetric cloak composed of periodically stacked cylindrical transmission-line networks

Hiding a Realistic Object Using a Broadband Terahertz Invisibility Cloak

The invisibility cloak has been a long-standing dream for many researchers over the decades. Using transformation optics, a three-dimensional (3D) object is perceived as having a reduced number of dimensions, making it "undetectable" judging from the scattered field12345. Despite successful experimental demonstration at microwave and optical frequencies6789101112, the spectroscopically importan...

Compact-sized and broadband carpet cloak and free-space cloak.

Recently, invisible cloaks have attracted much attention due to their exciting property of invisibility, which are based on a solid theory of transformation optics and quasi-conformal mapping. Two kinds of cloaks have been proposed: free-space cloaks, which can render objects in free space invisible to incident radiation, and carpet cloaks (or ground-plane cloaks), which can hide objects under ...
