It was proposed that perfect invisibility cloaks can be constructed for hiding objects from electromagnetic illumination [J. B. Pendry, D. Schurig, and D. R. Smith, Science 312, 1780 (2006)10.1126/science.1125907]. The cylindrical cloaks experimentally demonstrated [D. Schurig, Science 314, 977 (2006)10.1126/science.1133628] and theoretically proposed [W. Cai, Nat. Photon. 1, 224 (2007)10.1038/nphoton.2007.28] have however simplified material parameters in order to facilitate easier realization as well as to avoid infinities in optical constants. Here we show that the cylindrical cloaks with simplified material parameters inherently allow the zeroth-order cylindrical wave to pass through the cloak as if the cloak is made of a homogeneous isotropic medium, and thus visible. To all high-order cylindrical waves, our numerical simulation suggests that the simplified cloak inherits some properties of the ideal cloak, but finite scatterings exist. 相似文献

The method of designing electromagnetic invisible cloaks
is usually based on the form-invariance of Maxwell's equations in
coordinate transformation. The exterior boundary of a cylindrical
invisible cloak is unchanged and the interior boundary is extended
from that of a point to that of a cylindrical region in coordination
transformation. This transformation process makes perfect cloaks,
but it causes singularity in the constitutive material parameters of
cloaks. This singularity makes the cloaks impossible to realize
in practice. In order to remove this singularity, this paper sets
a small cylindrical region replacing a point in the space
transformation. The cylindrical region is so small that it does not
affect the invisibility effects, but it can remove the singularity for
material parameters. Full wave simulations based on the finite element
method were used to verify the designed cloaks. 相似文献

This paper reports that a general method of designing
invisible cloaks is using variant constitutive material
parameters to realize the space transformation. A hollow region can
be hidden after this transformation. It was recently shown (Ma H, Qu
S B, Xu Z and Wang J F 2009 \wx{Appl. Phys. Lett.}{94} 103501) that
when the original point moves to the boundary of a cloak, the cloak
can be designed to be open. Based on this theory, we propose
multi-window invisible cloaks which can conceal a group of objects.
Full wave simulations for invisible cloaks with regular and
irregular shapes verified this method. 相似文献

In this paper, three-dimensional (3-D) open cloaks were designed based on the coordinate transformation method. When the transformation center point is close to the boundary of the cloaks, the material parameter tensors in the near-boundary areas of the cloaks approximate to those in the background, so the near-boundary areas can be designed to be open. Full wave simulations based on finite element method verified the open cloaks we designed. Open cloaks can exchange information and materials with background media. Using the design method proposed in this paper, the boundary of open cloaks can be arbitrarily shaped, which greatly enhances the applicability of open cloaks. 相似文献

Transformation optics offers remarkable control over electromagnetic fields and opens an exciting gateway to design 'invisible cloak devices' recently. We present an important class of two-dimensional (2D) cloaks with polygon geometries. Explicit expressions of transformed medium parameters are derived with their unique properties investigated. It is found that the elements of diagonalized permittivity tensors are always positive within an irregular polygon cloak besides one element diverges to plus infinity and the other two become zero at the inner boundary. At most positions, the principle axes of permittivity tensors do not align with position vectors. An irregular polygon cloak is designed and its invisibility to external electromagnetic waves is numerically verified. Since polygon cloaks can be tailored to resemble any objects, the transformation is finally generalized to the realization of 2D cloaks with arbitrary geometries. 相似文献

Two-dimensional(2D) elliptically cylindrical invisible cloaks with multiple regions are designed based on the transformation optics and the complementary media theory. Multiple invisible cloak regions can be obtained by properly using the compressed or folded transformation in each space layer. The constitutive parameter tensor expressions for each region have been obtained. The results of full wave simulations by using finite element software confirm the validity of the constitutive parameter tensor expressions. In addition, the parameters are relatively easier to realize. 相似文献

Based on transformation acoustics, an arbitrary-shaped acoustic cloak capable of functioning as an information exchange-enabling internal cloak and a movement-allowing external cloak is presented. The general expressions of material parameters for the acoustic cloaks with arbitrarily conformal or non-conformal boundaries are derived, and then the performances of developed cloaks are validated by full-wave simulations. Finally, the different characteristics of the linear and nonlinear transformations-based cloaks are compared and analyzed. The proposed cloak could lead to wider applications beyond that of normal cloaks, since it effectively compensates the insufficiencies of traditional internal and external cloaks. Besides, this work also provides a new method to design bifunctional device and suggests an alternative way to make a large object invisible. 相似文献

By making a comparison between the acoustic equations and the
2-dimensional (2D) Maxwell equations, we obtain the material
parameter equations (MPE) for acoustic elliptical cylindrical
cloaks. Both the theoretical results and the numerical results
indicate that an elliptical cylindrical cloak can realize perfect
acoustic invisibility when the spatial distributions of mass density
and bulk modulus are exactly configured according to the proposed
equations. The present work is the meaningful exploration of
designing acoustic cloaks that are neither sphere nor circular
cylinder in shape, and opens up possibilities for making complex and
multiplex acoustic cloaks with simple models such as spheres,
circular or elliptic cylinders. 相似文献

In this review, a brief introduction is given to the development of acoustic superlens cloaks that allow the cloaked object to receive signals while its presence is not sensed by the surrounding, which can be regarded as “cloaking an acoustic sensor”. Remarkably, the designed cloak consists of single-negative materials with parameters independent of the background medium or the sensor system, which is proven to be a magnifying superlens. This has facilitated significantly the design and fabrication of acoustic cloaks that generally require double-negative materials with customized parameters. Such innovative design has then been simplified further as a multi-layered structure comprising of two alternately arranged complementary media with homogeneous isotropic single-negative materials. Based on this, a scattering analyses method is developed for the numerical simulation of such multi-layered cloak structures, which may serve as an efficient approach for the investigation on such devices. 相似文献

In this paper, the transient responses of some devices which are based on transformation electromagnetics are studied, such
as invisible cloaks and concentrators, by using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) numerical technique. In particular,
effects of the inherent losses as well as the coating size of the ideal cylindrical cloak on its bandwidth and cloaking performance
are examined. In addition, it is demonstrated that the performance of transformation electromagnetics based devices is affected
by the material parameters in the design, although they may behave nicely under monochromatic plane wave illuminations. The
obtained results are of interest for the future practical implementation of these structures. 相似文献

A three-dimensional (3D) spherical acoustic cloak is designed using an acoustic layered system, which can hide an object from
the detection of acoustic wave in arbitrary direction. The cloak is constructed from multilayered concentric spherical shells
filled with homogeneous isotropic materials. Based on spherical wave expansion method, we confirm that significant low-reflection,
acoustic-shadow-reducing, and wavefront-bending effects in 3D space can be achieved by the proposed cloak. The angle distribution
of the scattered wave is further evaluated by the far-field scattering pattern. In addition, the cloak is demonstrated to
work efficiently in a wide bandwidth in which the cloaking efficiency decreases with increasing frequency. This study may
be helpful to design high-performance 3D acoustic cloaks for broadband acoustic waves in all incidence directions. 相似文献

A general method to design a 2D dissimilar cloak for irregular regions is presented by operating a nonlinear transformation in polar coordinates. The material parameters avoid discontinuities while the thickness of the cloak shell is effectively limited in elongated directions. Full-wave simulations of an elliptic cloak, a rectangular cloak, and an arbitrary-shape cloak are performed to verify the validity of the design. Both the material parameters and the scattering widths of different models are calculated and illustrated for comparison. This method provides a possible approach for designing complex shaped cloaks. 相似文献

By using coordinate transformation method, this paper obtains an
useful equation of designing meta-material cloaks embedded in
anisotropic medium. This equation is the generalization of what was
introduced early by Pendry et al (2006 \textit{Science}
{312 1780) and can be more widely used. As an example of its
applications, this paper deduces the material parameter equation for
cylinder cloaks embedded in anisotropic medium, and then offers the
numerical simulation. The results show that such a cylinder cloak
has perfect cloaking performance and therefore verifies the method
proposed in this paper. 相似文献

Structures with unique electromagnetic properties are designed based on the approach of spatial coordinate transformations of Maxwell's equations. Thisapproach is applied to scheme out invisible elliptic cylinder cloaks, which provide more feasibility for cloaking arbitrarily shaped objects. The transformation expressions for the anisotropic material parameters and the field distribution are derived. The cloaking performances of ideal and lossy elliptic cylinder cloaks are investigated by finite element simulations. It is found that the cloaking performance will degrade in the forward direction withincreasing loss. 相似文献

Spacetime or ‘event’ cloaking was recently introduced as a concept, and the theoretical design for such a cloak was presented for illumination by electromagnetic waves [McCall et al., J. Opt. 2011]. Here it is described how event cloaks can be designed for simple wave systems, using either an approximate ‘speed cloak’ method, or an exact full‐wave one. Further, details of many of the implications of spacetime transformation devices are discussed, including their (usually) directional nature, spacetime distortions (as opposed to cloaks), and how leaky cloaks manifest themselves. More exotic concepts are also addressed, in particular concepts that follow naturally on from considerations of simple spacetime transformation devices, such as spacetime modeling and causality editors. A proposal for implementing an interrupt‐without‐interrupt concept is described. Finally, the design for a time‐dependent ‘bubbleverse’ is presented, based on temporally modulated Maxwell's Fisheye transformation device (T‐device) in a flat background spacetime. 相似文献

By using the coordinate transformation method, we have deduced the
material parameter equation for rotating elliptical spherical cloaks
and carried out simulation as well. The results indicate that the
rotating elliptical spherical cloaking shell, which is made of
meta-materials whose permittivity and permeability are governed by
the equation deduced in this paper, can achieve perfect invisibility
by excluding electromagnetic fields from the internal region without
disturbing any external field. 相似文献

Reusable reciprocal invisibility and phantom device is proposed and designed based on multi-folded transformation optics and equivalent components. In comparison with the reported reciprocal invisibility cloaks, the material parameters of the device presented here are homogeneous, and the hiding of the target object does not require any "anti-object" at all, which dramatically breaks through the limitations of the "anti-object" design in previous reciprocal cloak design. Perfectly illusion effect is also found by reasonably setting the material parameters of the restored medium of the device, which can be used to confuse detection radars while hiding target objects. Last but not least, the proposed device has an open structure, which enables the target object enclosed by the device to perform material exchange and simplex transfer of information with the outside world through open channels. In other words, the proposed device has a reusable function, enabling stealth or phantom of new target objects without changing any parameters of the device. 相似文献
