Acoustic cloaks derived by coordinate transformation have opened up a new field of considerable interest in the last two decades. However, since perfect omnidirectional acoustic cloak relies on inhomogeneous and anisotropic materials that…
The synthesis of non-magnetic 2D dielectric cloaks as proper solutions of an inverse scattering problem is addressed in this paper. Adopting the relevant integral formulation governing the scattering phenomena, analytic and numerical…
A method to engineer the refractive indices of functional materials (TiO2, ZnO, SnO2, SiO2), by nanostructuring in the deep sub-wavelength regime (<20nm), is presented. Block-copolymer templating combined with a wet processing route is used…
A radial-dependent dispersive finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is proposed to simulate electromagnetic cloaking devices. The Drude dispersion model is applied to model the electromagnetic characteristics of the cloaking medium.…
We re-examine real-time holography for all-optical structuring of light and optical computation using a contemporary material: a subwavelength-thick, spatially unstructured film of indium tin oxide (ITO). When excited by spatially…
The possibility of using plasmonic covers to drastically reduce the total scattering cross section of spherical and cylindrical objects is discussed. While it is intuitively expected that increasing the physical size of an object may lead…
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…
Most existing implementations of silicon nitride photonic crystal cavities rely on suspended membranes due to the low refractive index of silicon nitride. Such floating membranes are not mechanically robust, making them suboptimal for…
The experimental realization of cloaks for electromagnetic fields has been possible only in reduced schemes because of extreme material conditions required in exact cloaks. Here we analytically demonstrate that a simple arrangement of two…
We experimentally demonstrate the first metamaterial "illusion optics" device - an "invisible gateway" by using a transmission-line medium. The device contains an open channel that can block electromagnetic waves at a particular frequency…
Besides being the foundational material for microelectronics, in optics, crystalline silicon has long been used for making infrared lenses and mirrors. More recently, silicon has become the key material to achieve large-scale integration of…
Invisibility has attracted intensive research in various communities, e.g., optics, electromagnetics, acoustics, thermodynamics, etc. However, the most of them have only been experimentally achieved by virtue of simplified approaches due to…
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…
Cloaking of static magnetic fields by a finite thickness type-II superconductor tube surrounded by a coaxial paramagnet shell is studied. On the basis of exact solutions to the London and Maxwell equations, it is shown that perfect cloaking…
Stress-optic modulators are emerging as a necessary building block of photonic integrated circuits tasked with controlling and manipulating classical and quantum optical systems. While photonic platforms such as lithium niobate and silicon…
Subwavelength structures demonstrate many unusual optical properties which can be employed for engineering functional metadevices, as well as scattering of light and invisibility cloaking. Here we demonstrate that the suppression of light…
Ground-plane cloak designs are presented, which minimize scattering of electromagnetic radiation from metallic objects in the visible spectrum. It is showed that simplified ground-plane cloaks made from only a few blocks of all-dielectric…
Recent research has uncovered a remarkable ability to manipulate and control electromagnetic fields to produce effects such as perfect imaging and spatial cloaking. To achieve spatial cloaking, the index of refraction is manipulated to flow…
Visible transparent but infrared reflective materials are ideal candidates for both transparent conductive films and low-emissivity glass, which are highly desired in a broad variety of areas such as touchscreens and displays,…
An inverse way to define the parameters of ideal cylindrical cloaks is developed, in which the interconnection between the parameters is revealed for the first time without knowing a specific coordinate transformation. The required…
