Hiding Under the Carpet: a New Strategy for Cloaking
arXiv:0806.4396 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.203901
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.
