Full-space omnidirectional cloak by subwavelength metal channels filled with homogeneous dielectrics
Abstract:
Cloaks can greatly reduce the scattering cross-section of hidden objects through various mechanisms, thereby making them invisible to outside observers. Among them, the full-space omnidirectional cloak based on transformation optic with full parameters are difficult to realize without metamaterials and often needs to be simplified before realization, while most cloaks with simplified parameters have limited working direction and cannot achieve omnidirectional cloaking effect. In this study, a full-space omnidirectional cloak is designed based on transformation optics and optic-null medium, which only needed natural materials without metamaterials. The designed omnidirectional cloak is realized by subwavelength metal channels filled with isotropic dielectrics whose refractive indices range from 1 to 2, which is homogeneous in each channel. The numerical simulation results verify good scattering suppression effect of the designed cloak for various detecting waves.
