Known coherent metasurfaces control interference of waves of a given frequency with other coherent waves at the same frequency, either illuminating from a different direction or created as intermodulation products. In this paper, we…

The brightness theorem---brightness is nonincreasing in passive systems---is a foundational conservation law, with applications ranging from photovoltaics to displays, yet it is restricted to the field of ray optics. For general linear wave…

We consider the propagation of acoustic waves in a 2D waveguide unbounded in one direction and containing a compact obstacle. The wavenumber is fixed so that only one mode can propagate. The goal of this work is to propose a method to cloak…
Using a dipole interaction model, we derive generalized sheet transition conditions (GSTCs) for electromagnetic fields at the surface of a metascreen consisting of an array of arbitrarily shaped apertures in a perfectly conducting screen of…
Interference is the cornerstone of Huygens source design for reshaping and controlling scattering patterns. The conventional underpinning principle, such as for the Kerker effect, is the interference of electric and magnetic dipole and…
Antireflection coatings are ubiquitous in optical systems, where they maximize transmission and suppress undesirable reflections by impedance-matching uniform interfaces. Extending this principle to metasurfaces, however, is fundamentally…
We study the situation in which the distribution of temperature a body is due to its interaction with radiation. We consider the boundary value problem for the stationary radiative transfer equation under the assumption of the local…
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…
Heat radiation and near-field radiative heat transfer can be strongly manipulated by adjusting geometrical shapes, optical properties, or the relative positions of the objects involved. Typically these objects are considered as embedded in…
The application of transformation optics to the development of intriguing electromagnetic devices can produce weakly anisotropic or isotropic media with the assistance of quasi-conformal and/or conformal mapping, as opposed to the strongly…
Robust topological edge modes may evolve into complex-frequency modes when a physical system becomes non-Hermitian. We show that, while having negligible forward optical extinction cross section, a conjugate pair of such complex topological…
It is generally believed that transformation optics based cloaking, besides rendering the cloaked region invisible to detection by scattering of incident waves, also shields the region from those same waves. We demonstrate a coupling…
A perturbation approach is used for analysis of a near-cloak in shielding a finite scatterer from an incident flexural wave. The effect of the boundary conditions on the interior surface of the cloaking layer is analysed in detail, based on…
