Invisibility cloak capable of hiding an object can be achieved by properly manipulating electromagnetic field. Such a remarkable ability has been shown in transformation and ray optics. Alternatively, it may be realistic to create a spatial…

A new type of cloak is discussed: one that gives all cloaked objects the appearance of a flat conducting sheet. It has the advantage that none of the parameters of the cloak is singular and can in fact be made isotropic. It makes broadband…
By using the novel property of the rectangular superscatterer, we propose a design which can conceal an entrance from electromagnetic wave detection. Such a superscatterer is realized by coating a negative index material shell on a perfect…
