    • Broadband electromagnetic cloaking with smart metamaterials. 

      Shin, Dongheok; Urzhumov, Yaroslav; Jung, Youngjean; Kang, Gumin; Baek, Seunghwa; Choi, Minjung; Park, Haesung; ... (9 authors) (Nat Commun, 2012)
      The ability to render objects invisible with a cloak that fits all objects and sizes is a long-standing goal for optical devices. Invisibility devices demonstrated so far typically comprise a rigid structure wrapped around ...
    • Complex k band diagrams of 3D metamaterial/photonic crystals. 

      Fietz, Chris; Urzhumov, Yaroslav; Shvets, Gennady (Opt Express, 2011-09-26)
      A finite element method (FEM) for solving a complex valued k(ω) vs. ω dispersion curve of a 3D metamaterial/photonic crystal system is presented. This 3D method is a generalization of a previously reported 2D eigenvalue ...
    • Enhancing imaging systems using transformation optics. 

      Smith, David R; Urzhumov, Yaroslav; Kundtz, Nathan B; Landy, Nathan I (Opt Express, 2010-09-27)
      We apply the transformation optical technique to modify or improve conventional refractive and gradient index optical imaging devices. In particular, when it is known that a detector will terminate the paths of rays over ...
    • Far-field analysis of axially symmetric three-dimensional directional cloaks. 

      Ciracì, Cristian; Urzhumov, Yaroslav; Smith, David R (Opt Express, 2013-04-22)
      Axisymmetric radiating and scattering structures whose rotational invariance is broken by non-axisymmetric excitations present an important class of problems in electromagnetics. For such problems, a cylindrical ...
    • Leveraging nanoscale plasmonic modes to achieve reproducible enhancement of light. 

      Hill, Ryan T; Mock, Jack J; Urzhumov, Yaroslav; Sebba, David S; Oldenburg, Steven J; Chen, Shiuan-Yeh; Lazarides, Anne A; ... (9 authors) (Nano Lett, 2010-10-13)
      The strongly enhanced and localized optical fields that occur within the gaps between metallic nanostructures can be leveraged for a wide range of functionality in nanophotonic and optical metamaterial applications. Here, ...
    • Low-loss directional cloaks without superluminal velocity or magnetic response. 

      Urzhumov, Yaroslav; Smith, David R (Opt Lett, 2012-11-01)
      The possibility of making an optically large (many wavelengths in diameter) object appear invisible has been a subject of many recent studies. Exact invisibility scenarios for large (relative to the wavelength) objects involve ...
    • Magnetic metamaterial superlens for increased range wireless power transfer. 

      Lipworth, Guy; Ensworth, Joshua; Seetharam, Kushal; Huang, Da; Lee, Jae Seung; Schmalenberg, Paul; Nomura, Tsuyoshi; ... (10 authors) (Sci Rep, 2014-01-10)
      The ability to wirelessly power electrical devices is becoming of greater urgency as a component of energy conservation and sustainability efforts. Due to health and safety concerns, most wireless power transfer (WPT) schemes ...
    • Thin low-loss dielectric coatings for free-space cloaking 

      Urzhumov, Yaroslav; Landy, Nathan; Driscoll, Tom; Basov, Dimitri; Smith, David R (2013-05-03)
      We report stereolithographic polymer-based fabrication and experimental operation of a microwave X-band cloaking device. The device is a relatively thin (about one wavelength thick) shell of an air dielectric composite, ...
