Optical Cloak of Invisibility
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the design and analysis of an optical cloak of invisibility with non-magnetic metamaterials. The general recipe for the implementation of such a device is provided. The cloaking performance is illustrated with finite-element simulations. ©2007 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (230.3990) Microstructure devices; (160.4760) Optical properties; (999.9999) Meta-materials

Homogeneous optical cloak constructed with uniform layered structures.
The prospect of rendering objects invisible has intrigued researchers for centuries. Transformation optics based invisibility cloak design is now bringing this goal from science fictions to reality and has already been demonstrated experimentally in microwave and optical frequencies. However, the majority of the invisibility cloaks reported so far have a spatially varying refractive index which...
متن کاملDirect visualization of optical frequency invisibility cloak based on silicon nanorod array.
A new invisibility cloak was recently proposed for hiding objects in front of a highly reflecting mirror. This cloak requires only modest values of optical constants with minimal anisotropy and thus can be implemented by using non-resonant dielectric materials, making it an ideal system for optical frequency operation. We implemented the cloak using an array of silicon nanorods fabricated by el...
متن کاملOptical cloaking with metamaterials
Artificially structured metamaterials have enabled unprecedented flexibility in manipulating electromagnetic waves and producing new functionalities, including the cloak of invisibility based on coordinate transformation. Unlike other cloaking approaches4–6, which are typically limited to subwavelength objects, the transformation method allows the design of cloaking devices that render a macros...
متن کاملMacroscopic invisibility cloak for visible light.
Invisibility cloaks, a subject that usually occurs in science fiction and myths, have attracted wide interest recently because of their possible realization. The biggest challenge to true invisibility is known to be the cloaking of a macroscopic object in the broad range of wavelengths visible to the human eye. Here we experimentally solve this problem by incorporating the principle of transfor...
متن کاملTime-of-flight imaging of invisibility cloaks.
As invisibility cloaking has recently become experimental reality, it is interesting to explore ways to reveal remaining imperfections. In essence, the idea of most invisibility cloaks is to recover the optical path lengths without an object (to be made invisible) by a suitable arrangement around that object. Optical path length is proportional to the time of flight of a light ray or to the opt...
