"Cloaking at a distance" from folded geometries in bipolar coordinates

Opt Lett. 2009 Sep 1;34(17):2649-51. doi: 10.1364/OL.34.002649.

Abstract

We propose a kind of folded geometry in bipolar coordinates. Transformation optics in such folded geometries has many intriguing applications, such as a kind of conceptual devices that can exactly cancel the scattering of a prespecified external object and thereby make it invisible. Numerical simulations are performed to confirm the properties.
