A kind of transformation media, which we shall call the "anti-cloak", is proposed to partially defeat the cloaking effect of the invisibility cloak. An object with an outer shell of "anti-cloak" is visible to the outside if it is coated…

Either conformal transformation optics or geodesic mapping provides a design method to bend light rays in two-dimensional space with a nonuniform refractive index profile. In this paper, we combine both methods above to design a conformal…

Acoustic invisibility of a cloaking system in turbulent uids has been poorly understood. Here we show that evident scattering would appear in turbulent wakes owing to the submergence of a classical cloaking device. The inherent mechanism is…
