We introduce an all-optical system, termed the "lying mirror", to hide input information by transforming it into misleading, ordinary-looking patterns that effectively camouflage the underlying image data and deceive the observers. This…
In an electromagnetic cloak based on a transformation approach, reduced sets of material properties are generally favored due to their easier implementation in reality, although a seemingly inevitable drawback of undesired reflection exists…
Invisible cloak has long captivated the popular conjecture and attracted intensive research in various communities of wave dynamics, e.g., optics, electromagnetics, acoustics, etc. However, their inhomogeneous and extreme parameters imposed…
In a recent comment arxiv:1310.1503 Miller et al. noted that a cloak we previously presented (Scientific Reports 3, 2328) that exploits a scattering cancellation technique to render an optically small dielectric particle invisible suffers…
We fabricate and characterize a three-dimensional polarization-independent invisibility cloak operating at visible wavelengths of light. The required drastic miniaturization has become possible by employing stimulated-emission-depletion…
We design three dimensional electromagnetic cloaks, starting from a small region of complex shape instead of a point. We derive the expression of a transformation matrix describing an objet with a surface of revolution and its associated…
Three-dimensional gravitational cloaking is known to require exotic matter and energy sources, which makes it arguably physically unrealizable. On the other hand, typical astronomical observations are performed using one-dimensional…
All the thermal cloaks reported in the literature can be used to thermally hide an object inside the cloak. However, a common limitation of this kind of thermal cloaks is that the cloaked object cannot feel the external heat flow since it…
We theoretically and numerically demonstrate that hydrodynamic cloaking can be achieved by simply adjusting the geometric depth of a region surrounding an object in microscale flow, rendering the external flow field undisturbed. Using the…
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…
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…
We show theoretically that essentially perfect elastostatic mechanical cloaking of a circular inclusion in a homogeneous surrounding medium can be achieved by means of a simple cloak comprising three concentric annuli, each formed of a…
We develop a generalized covering space theory for a class of uniform spaces called coverable spaces. Coverable spaces include all geodesic metric spaces, connected and locally pathwise connected compact topological spaces, in particular…
There has recently been considerable interest in the possibility, both theoretical and practical, of invisibility (or "cloaking") from observation by electromagnetic (EM) waves. Here, we prove invisibility, with respect to solutions of the…
We develop and apply an optimization method to design invisibility cloaks. Our method is based on minimizing the forward scattering amplitude of the cloaked object, which by the optical theorem, is equivalent to the total cross section. The…
We cloak a region from a known incident wave by surrounding the region with three or more devices that cancel out the field in the cloaked region without significantly radiating waves. Since very little waves reach scatterers within the…
A new method of cloaking is presented. For two-dimensional quasistatics it is proven how a single active exterior cloaking device can be used to shield an object from surrounding fields, yet produce very small scattered fields. The problem…
Generalized beams of light that are made to turn inside out, creating black nodal areas of total destructive interference are described. As an example we experimentally created an elliptical node from a uniformly illuminated elliptical…
We obtain the geodesics for the simplest possible stealth defect which has a flat spacetime. We, then, discuss the lensing properties of such a defect, and the corresponding image formation. Similar lensing properties can be expected to…
Liquid crystals allow for the real-time control of the polarization of light. We describe and provide some experimental examples of the types of general polarization transformations, including universal polarization transformations, that…
