Isotropic-medium three-dimensional cloaks for acoustic and electromagnetic waves
Abstract
We propose a generalization of the two-dimensional eikonal-limit cloak derived from
a conformal transformation to three dimensions. The proposed cloak is a spherical
shell composed of only isotropic media; it operates in the transmission mode and requires
no mirror or ground plane. Unlike the well-known omnidirectional spherical cloaks,
it may reduce visibility of an arbitrary object only for a very limited range of observation
angles. In the short-wavelength limit, this cloaking structure restores not only the
trajectories of incident rays, but also their phase, which is a necessary ingredient
to complete invisibility. Both scalar-wave (acoustic) and transverse vector-wave (electromagnetic)
versions are presented. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.
