TLDR
A new type of cloak is discussed: one that gives all cloaked objects the appearance of a flat conducting sheet that has the advantage that none of the parameters of the cloak is singular and can in fact be made isotropic.Abstract:
A new type of cloak is discussed: one that gives all cloaked objects the appearance of a flat conducting sheet. It has the advantage that none of the parameters of the cloak is singular and can in fact be made isotropic. It makes broadband cloaking in the optical frequencies one step closer.read more

Coding Metamaterials, Digital Metamaterials and Programming Metamaterials
TL;DR: In this paper, Wu et al. proposed a digital metamaterial with two kinds of unit cells with 0 and π phase responses, which they named as "0" and "1" elements.

Broadband Ground-Plane Cloak
TL;DR: An experimental realization of a cloak design that conceals a perturbation on a flat conducting plane, under which an object can be hidden, and results indicate that this type of cloak should scale well toward optical wavelengths.

An optical cloak made of dielectrics
TL;DR: The optical 'carpet' cloak is designed using quasi-conformal mapping to conceal an object that is placed under a curved reflecting surface by imitating the reflection of a flat surface and enables broadband and low-loss invisibility at a wavelength range of 1,400-1,800 nm.

TL;DR: This work describes here the first practical realization of a cloak of invisibility, constructed with the use of artificially structured metamaterials, designed for operation over a band of microwave frequencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical Conformal Mapping
TL;DR: A general recipe for the design of media that create perfect invisibility within the accuracy of geometrical optics is developed, which can be applied to escape detection by other electromagnetic waves or sound.

TL;DR: A double-periodic array of pairs of parallel gold nanorods is shown to have a negative refractive index in the optical range, which results from the plasmon resonance in the pairs of nanorod for both the electric and the magnetic components of light.
