Modes, Bounds, and Synthesis of Optimal Electromagnetic Scatterers
arXiv:2405.11499 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/ad73fb
Abstract
This paper presents an optimal synthesis of material distributions in obstacles for maximal extinction, scattering, or absorption. The material synthesis is based on an explicit construction utilizing the current distribution derived from physical bounds excited from the far-field. The bounds are expressed in radiation modes for materials restricted by their resistivity and characteristic modes for materials restricted by the contrast. The results are valid for arbitrary shapes, and analytical expressions are provided for spherical shapes.
