Controlling Electromagnetic Fields

J. B. Pendry, D. Schurig, D. R. Smith

Using the freedom of design which metamaterials provide, we show how electromagnetic fields can be redirected at will and propose a design strategy. The conserved fields: electric…

Optical design of reflectionless complex media by finite embedded coordinate transformations

Marco Rahm, Steven A. Cummer, David Schurig +2

Transformation optics offers an unconventional approach to the control of electromagnetic fields. A transformation optical structure is designed by first applying a form-invariant…

Design of Electromagnetic Cloaks and Concentrators Using Form-Invariant Coordinate Transformations of Maxwell's Equations

Marco Rahm, David Schurig, Daniel A. Roberts +3

The technique of applying form-invariant, spatial coordinate transformations of Maxwell's equations can facilitate the design of structures with unique electromagnetic or optical f…

Full-wave simulations of electromagnetic cloaking structures

Steven A. Cummer, Bogdan-Ioan Popa, David Schurig +2

Based on a coordinate transformation approach, Pendry {\it et al.} have reported electromagnetically anisotropic and inhomogeneous shells that, in theory, completely shield an inte…

Calculation of material properties and ray tracing in transformation media

D. Schurig, J. B. Pendry, D. R. Smith

Complex and interesting electromagnetic behavior can be found in spaces with non-flat topology. When considering the properties of an electromagnetic medium under an arbitrary coor…

Negative Index Lens Aberrations

D. Schurig, D. R. Smith

We examine the Seidel aberrations of thin spherical lenses composed of media with refractive index not restricted to be positive. We find that consideration of this expanded parame…

Universal Description of Spherical Aberration Free Lenses Composed of Positive or Negative Index Media

D. Schurig, D. R. Smith

We find that the function that describes the surface of spherical aberration free lenses can be used for both positive and negative refractive index media. With the inclusion of ne…
