Omnidirectional transformation-optics cloak made from lenses and glenses.

چکیده
We present a design for an omnidirectional transformation-optics (TO) cloak comprising thin lenses and glenses (generalized thin lenses) [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A33, 962 (2016)1084-7529JOAOD610.1364/JOSAA.33.000962]. It should be possible to realize such devices in pixelated form. Our design is a piecewise nonaffine generalization of piecewise affine pixelated-TO devices [Proc. SPIE9193, 91931E (2014)PSISDG0277-786X10.1117/12.2061404; J. Opt18, 044009 (2016)]. It is intended to be a step in the direction of TO devices made entirely from lenses, which should be readily realizable on large length scales and for a broad range of wavelengths.

Ray optics of generalised lenses (glenses)
We study the ray optics of glenses, ideal thin lenses generalised to have different objectand image-sided focal lengths, and the most general light-ray-direction-changing surfaces that stigmatically image any point in object space to a corresponding point in image space. Gabor superlenses [Gabor, UK Patent 541,753 (1940); Hembd-Sölner et al., J. Opt. A: Pure Appl. Opt. 1, 94 (1999)] can be seen...

متن کاملOmnidirectional surface wave cloak using an isotropic homogeneous dielectric coating
The field of transformation optics owes a lot of its fame to the concept of cloaking. While some experimental progress has been made towards free-space cloaking in three dimensions, the material properties required are inherently extremely difficult to achieve. The approximations that then have to be made to allow fabrication produce unsatisfactory device performance. In contrast, when surface ...
متن کاملProgress towards omnidirectional transformation optics with lenses
We study, theoretically, omni-directional Euclidean transformation-optics (TO) devices comprising planar, lightray-direction changing, imaging, interfaces. We initially studied such devices in the case when the interfaces are homogeneous, showing that very general transformations between physical and electromagnetic space are possible. We are now studying the case of inhomogeneous interfaces. T...
متن کاملLocal heating realization by reverse thermal cloak
Transformation thermodynamics, as one of the important branches among the extensions of transformation optics, has attracted plentiful attentions and interests recently. The result of transformation thermodynamics, or called as "thermal cloak", can realize isothermal region and hide objects from heat. In this paper, we presented the concept of "reverse thermal cloak" to correspond to the therma...
