Metamaterial cloaking

Metamaterial cloaking is the usage of metamaterials in an invisibility cloak. Electromagnetic cloaking has aroused increasing interest in the scientific community, especially amongst researchers who are developing so-called metamaterials - artificial composites having exotic electromagnetic properties. In this paper we review the basic principles of metamaterials , especially those for cloaking . Physicists from ITMO University, Ioffe Institute and Australian National University managed to make homogenous cylindrical objects completely invisible in the microwave range. Contrary to the now prevailing notion of invisibility that relies on metamaterial coatings, the scientists achieved the result using a .

Beyond invisibility —engineering light with metamaterials.

Since ancient times, people have experimented with light, cherishing shiny metals like .

We are beginning to be able to control very precisely how light interacts with matter, creating opportunities for invisibility , soundproofing and even earthquake damage prevention. There has been some controversy surrounding some of the scientific concepts associated with metamaterials and cloaking. A metamaterial cloak bends light around an object. Artificially structured metamaterials have enabled unprecedented flexibility in manipulating electromagnetic waves and producing new functionalities, including the cloak of invisibility based on coordinate transformation. Using transformation optics it is possible to . Unlike other cloaking approaches, which are typically limited to subwavelength objects, the . The concept of digital metamaterials – a simple way of designing metamaterials with bizarre optical properties that could hasten the development of devices such as invisibility cloaks and superlenses – is reported in.

Abstract: In this paper, we present the design of cylindrical and spherical electromagnetic cloaks working at visible frequencies. The cloak design is based on the employment of layered structures consisting of alternating plasmonic and nonplasmonic materials, and . Broadband electromagnetic cloaking with smart metamaterials.

Ulf Leonhardt was born in East Germany, and presently occupies the theoretical physics chair at the University of St. Andrews in Scotlan and is considered one the leaders in the science of creating an invisibility cloak. They are made from assemblies of multiple elements fashioned from composite materials such as metals or plastics. The materials are usually arranged in repeating patterns, at scales that are smaller . Plasmonic metamaterial cloaking at optical frequencies.

Today we are far more advanced in how we work with this ubiquitous energy. Starting with 19th -century experimentation, we began to explore controlling how light . This is accomplished by manipulating the paths traversed b. A new, metamaterial -based electromagnetic cloaking operation is proposed in this study. Optical cloaking with metamaterials.
