Invisibility and cloaking: Origins, present, and future perspectives

R Fleury, F Monticone, A Alù - Physical Review Applied, 2015 - APS
The development of metamaterials, ie, artificially structured materials that interact with waves
in unconventional ways, has revolutionized our ability to manipulate the propagation of …

Hiding under the carpet: a new strategy for cloaking

J Li, JB Pendry - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
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 …

Cloaking devices, electromagnetic wormholes, and transformation optics

A Greenleaf, Y Kurylev, M Lassas, G Uhlmann - SIAM review, 2009 - SIAM

Arbitrarily elliptical–cylindrical invisible cloaking

WX Jiang, TJ Cui, GX Yu, XQ Lin… - Journal of Physics D …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
Based on the idea of coordinate transformation (Pendry, Schurig and Smith 2006 Science

Analytical design of conformally invisible cloaks for arbitrarily shaped objects

WX Jiang, JY Chin, Z Li, Q Cheng, R Liu, TJ Cui - Physical Review E …, 2008 - APS
To design conformally invisible cloaks for arbitrarily shaped objects, we use the nonuniform
rational B-spline (NURBS) to represent the geometrical modeling of the arbitrary object …

Design and analytical full-wave validation of the invisibility cloaks, concentrators, and field rotators created with a general class of transformations

Y Luo, H Chen, J Zhang, L Ran, JA Kong - Physical Review B—Condensed …, 2008 - APS
