Concurrent guiding of light and heat by transformation optics and transformation thermodynamics via soft matter

compactifications and representations of transformation semigroups

this thesis deals essentially (but not from all aspects) with the extension of the notion of semigroup compactification and the construction of a general theory of semitopological nonaffine (affine) transformation semigroup compactifications. it determines those compactification which are universal with respect to some algebric or topological properties. as an application of the theory, it is i...

Engineering space for light via transformation optics.

Conceptual studies and numerical simulations are performed for imaging devices that transform a near-field pattern into magnified far-zone images and are based on high-order spatial transformation in cylindrical domains. A lens translating a near-field pattern from an almost circular input boundary onto a magnified far-field image at a flat output boundary is considered. The lens is made of a m...

Transformation optics and subwavelength control of light.

Our intuitive understanding of light has its foundation in the ray approximation and is intimately connected with our vision. As far as our eyes are concerned, light behaves like a stream of particles. We look inside the wavelength and study the properties of plasmonic structures with dimensions of just a few nanometers, where at a tenth or even a hundredth of the wavelength of visible light th...

Transformation Electromagnetics and Optics

An overview of the transformation electromagnetics/optics design technique is presented. Illustrative example designs for invisibility cloaks, beam control devices, lenses as well as applications to radiation problems are shown. Quasi-conformal transformations in two dimensions and their applications to cloaks and virtual arrays are discussed.
