Calculation of material properties for arbitrary shape transformation media

Optics 2011-11-04 v1

Abstract

We propose a general method to evaluate the material parameters for arbitrary shape transformation media. By solving the original coordinates in the transformed region via Laplace's equations, we can obtain the deformation field numerically, in turn the material properties of the devices to be designed such as cloaks, rotators or concentrators with arbitrary shape. Devices which have non-fixed outer boundaries, such as beam guider, can also be designed by the proposed method. Examples with full wave simulation are given for illustration. In the end, wave velocity and energy change in the transformation media are discussed with help of the deformation view.
