An inverse method of designing cylindrical cloaks without knowing coordinate transformation

Optics 2009-07-03 v1

Abstract

An inverse way to define the parameters of ideal cylindrical cloaks is developed, in which the interconnection between the parameters is revealed for the first time without knowing a specific coordinate transformation. The required parameters are derived in terms of the integral form of cloaking generators, which is very general and allows us to examine the significance of the parametric profiles. The validity of such inverse way and the invisibility characteristics are presented in full-wave numerical simulation of plane wave scattering by cloaked cylinders.
