Reverse Circular Bragg Phenomenon
Martin W. McCall, Stefanos Fr. Koufidis
The axial propagation of circularly polarized light in an optically active structurally chiral medium is exactly solved via full electromagnetic analysis. Some symmetries of the sy…
Broadband Bragg phenomenon in a uniform medium
Martin W. McCall, Stefanos Fr. Koufidis
A new mechanism of Bragg reflection is identified, one that, remarkably, occurs in a uniform medium and relies on resonant tuning of the medium's parameters. Due to uniformity, ref…
Electromagnetism, Axions, and Topology: a first-order operator approach to constitutive responses provides greater freedom
Jonathan Gratus, Martin W. McCall, Paul Kinsler
We show how the standard constitutive assumptions for the macroscopic Maxwell equations can be relaxed. This is done by arguing that the Maxwellian excitation fields (D,H) should b…
On Spacetime Transformation Optics: Temporal and Spatial Dispersion
Jonathan Gratus, Paul Kinsler, Martin W. McCall +1
The electromagnetic implementation of cloaking, the hiding of objects from sight by diverting and reassembling illuminating electromagnetic fields has now been with us ten years, w…
Transformation devices: carpets in space and space-time
Paul Kinsler, Martin W. McCall
Here we extend the theory of space-time or event cloaking into that based on the carpet or ground-plane reflective surface. Further, by recasting and generalizing a scalar acoustic…
Cloaks, editors, and bubbles: applications of spacetime transformation theory
Paul Kinsler, Martin W. McCall
Spacetime or `event' cloaking was recently introduced as a concept, and the theoretical design for such a cloak was presented for illumination by electromagnetic waves [McCall, Fav…
