Impedance rescaling and scattering from transformation optics devices

Broadband Transformation Optics Devices

Recently we have suggested that two-dimensional broadband transformation optics devices based on metamaterial designs may be built using tapered waveguides. Here we review application of this principle to broadband electromagnetic cloaking, trapped rainbow, and novel microscopy devices.

Cloaking Devices, Electromagnetic Wormholes, and Transformation Optics

We describe recent theoretical and experimental progress on making objects invisible to detection by electromagnetic waves. Ideas for devices that would have once seemed fanciful may now be at least approximately implemented physically using a new class of artificially structured materials called metamaterials. Maxwell’s equations have transformation laws that allow for design of electromagneti...

Physical Optics Calculation of Electromagnetic Scattering From Haack Series Nose Cone

In this paper, the physical optics method is used to study the problem of electromagnetic scattering from Haack series nose cone. First, a meshing scheme is introduced which approximates the curvature of the surface by piecewise linear functions in both axial and rotational directions. This results in planar quadrilateral patches and enables efficient determination of the illuminated region and...

Design of layered transformation - optics devices of arbitrary shape

Transformation-optics devices of arbitrary shapes usually result in material parameters inside the device that feature level sets of different shapes. Consequently, these devices cannot easily be implemented using a layered architecture and thus are, generally, more difficult to realize in practice. We present a method of designing two-dimensional transformation-optics devices of arbitrary shap...
