چکیده

Designs of cloaking devices and more general invisible objects have primarily applied the techniques of transformation optics and scattering cancellation to derive material structures that achieve the desired effects. In this Letter, we note that it is also possible to construct a broader class of invisible objects directly from the defining wave equation. The technique is demonstrated in a scalar formalism with illustrative examples.

PT -Symmetric Acoustics

We introduce here the concept of acoustic parity-time (PT ) symmetry and demonstrate the extraordinary scattering characteristics of the acoustic PT medium. On the basis of exact calculations, we show how an acoustic PT -symmetric medium can become unidirectionally transparent at given frequencies. Combining such a PT -symmetric medium with transformation acoustics, we design two-dimensional sy...

Numerical method of designing three-dimensional open cloaks with arbitrary boundary shapes

In this paper, three-dimensional (3-D) open cloaks were designed based on the coordinate transformation method. When the transformation center point is close to the boundary of the cloaks, the material parameter tensors in the near-boundary areas of the cloaks approximate to those in the background, so the near-boundary areas can be designed to be open. Full wave simulations based on finite ele...

Ideal and nonideal invisibility cloaks.

We employ the analytical solutions for the spatial transformation of the electromagnetic fields to obtain and analyze explicit expressions for the structure of the electromagnetic fields in invisibility cloaks. Similar approach can be also used for analyzing beam splitters and field concentrators. We study the efficiency of nonideal electromagnetic cloaks and discuss the effect of scattering lo...

Analyzing the Performance of Lined and Unlined Simplified Cylindrical Cloaks

The performance of simplified cylindrical cloaks with various material parameters was investigated. The performance metric was the overall scattering width of the cloak with various objects in the hidden region. COMSOL was used to simulate three cloaks with different material parameters to determine the total field in the simulation domain. The fields were then transformed to the far zone and s...

The Boundary Conditions for Electromagnetic Invisibility Cloaks ∗

In this paper we study electromagnetic invisibility cloaks in transformation media that are obtained by transformation from general anisotropic media. We assume that there are several cloaks located in different points in space. Our results apply in particular to the first order invisibility cloaks introduced by Pendry et al. and to the high order invisibility cloaks introduced by Hendi et al. ...
