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…
An invisibility device should guide light around an object as if nothing were there, regardless where the light comes from. Ideal invisibility devices are impossible due to the wave nature of light. This paper develops a general recipe for…
Cloaking is typically reciprocal. We introduce here the concept of \emph{transmittable nonreciprocal cloaking} whereby the cloaking system operates as a standard omnidirectional cloak for external illumination, but can transmit light from…
The cloaking performance of two microwave cloaks, both based on the recently proposed transmission-line approach, are studied using commercial full-wave simulation software. The cloaks are shown to be able to reduce the total scattering…

By introducing a concept of "minifying layer", we propose a universal device to hide the position of an object by shifting its scattering without scaling effect for a distance, independent of the direction of incident wave and observation.…
A cylindrical wave expansion method is developed to obtain the scattering field for an ideal two-dimensional cylindrical invisibility cloak. A near-ideal model of the invisibility cloak is set up to solve the boundary problem at the inner…
The invisibility cloak has been a long-standing dream for many researchers over the decades. By transforming space and light propagation, a three-dimensional (3D) object can be perceived as having reduced number of dimensions, in the form…
We show that dielectric or even perfectly conducting cylinders can be cloaked by a uniform or a layered dielectric cladding, without the need of any exotic or magnetic material parameters. In particular, we start by presenting a simple…

Fundamental features of rotationally symmetric acoustic cloaks with anisotropic inertia are derived. Two universal relations are found to connect the radial and transverse phase speeds and the bulk modulus in the cloak. Perfect cloaking…
Cloaking using complementary media was suggested by Lai et al. This was proved in the quasistatic regime by H. M. Nguyen. One of the difficulties in the study of this problem is the appearance of the localized resonance, i.e., the fields…
Recent theoretical advances applied to metamaterials have opened new avenues to design a coating that hides objects from electromagnetic radiation and even the sight. Here, we propose a new design of cloaking devices that creates perfect…
A near-perfect, non-singular cylindrical invisibility cloak with diamond cross section is achieved by a two-step coordinate transformation. A small line segment is stretched and then blown up into a diamond space, and finally the cloak…
It was recently shown [Halimeh et al. arXiv:1510.06144 (to appear in Phys. Rev. A)] that as a result of the Doppler effect, inherently dispersive single-frequency ideal free-space invisibility cloaks in relative motion to an observer can…
Invisibility or unhearability cloaks have been made possible by using metamaterials making light or sound flow around obstacle without the trace of reflections or shadows. Metamaterials are known for being flexible building units that can…
