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 ...
متن کاملDelay-bandwidth and delay-loss limitations for cloaking of large objects.
We show that the difficulty of cloaking is fundamentally limited by delay-loss and delay-bandwidth limitations that worsen as the size of the object to be cloaked increases relative to the wavelength, using a simple model of ground-plane cloaking. These limitations must be considered when scaling experimental cloaking demonstrations up from wavelength-scale objects.
متن کاملAmplitude-only, passive, broadband, optical spatial cloaking of very large objects.
We demonstrate three amplitude cloaks that can hide very large spatial objects over the entire visible spectrum using only passive, off-the-shelf optics. The cloaked region for all of the devices exceeds 10⁶ mm³, with the largest exceeding 10⁸ mm³. Although unidirectional, these cloaks can hide the cloaked object, even if the object is transversely illuminated or self-illuminated. Due to the sm...
متن کاملIsotropic nonmagnetic flat cloaks degenerated from homogeneous anisotropic trapeziform cloaks.
We propose a novel kind of trapeziform cloak requiring only homogeneous anisotropic materials. Large-scale flat cloaks can be degenerated from the general trapeziform cloak with PEC inner boundary, and be realized by isotropic nonmagnetic materials for optical frequencies with controlled index profiles and improved invisibility. With the support of PEC inner boundary, large vehicles and objects...
متن کاملChallenges in the fabrication of an optical frequency ground plane cloak consisting of silicon nanorod arrays
The application of transformation optical techniques to photonic crystal-like dielectric structures has facilitated the creation of invisibility cloaks that operate at optical wavelengths. In this article, the authors present the fabrication processes for an all-dielectric ground plane cloak structure that consists of multiple silicon nanorod arrays connected by input and output waveguides. An ...
