Design of conformal lens by drilling holes materials using quasi-conformal transformation optics

Opt Express. 2014 Oct 20;22(21):25455-65. doi: 10.1364/OE.22.025455.

Abstract

In this paper, based on quasi-conformal transformation optics, a 3D conformal lens made of isotropic and non-resonant metamaterial is designed, which can make a cylindrical conformal array behave similarly to a uniform linear array. After discussion and simplification in the two-dimensional model, we realize the proposed lens by utilizing drilling-hole material in the three-dimensional structure. The ring-like shape and forward-only radiation make it possible to equip the lens on a cylindrical device.
