  • A New Strategy to Conceal an Object from Electromagnetic Wave
    A new strategy to conceal an object from electromagnetic wave Yu Luo, Jingjing Zhang, Hongsheng Chen, Bae-Ian Wu, and Jin Au Kong The Electromagnetics Academy at Zhejiang University, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, P. R. China and Research Laboratory of Electronics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA A new recipe for concealing objects from detection is suggested. Different with traditional cloak which deflects light around the core of the cloak to make the object inside invisible, our cloak guides the light to penetrate the core of the cloak but without striking some region of the cloak shell - the so called ‘folded region’. Full wave analytical calculation shows that this cloak will lead to a scattering enhancement instead of scattering reduction in contrast to the traditional cloak; the scattered field distribution can also be changed as if the scatterer is moved from its original position. Such interesting phenomenon indicates the proposed cloak can be used to disguise the true information of the object, e.g. the position, the size, etc, and further mislead the observer and avoid being detected. How to conceal an obstacle from electromagnetic wave detection has been a hot research topic. When talking about “invisible” of an object, we originally mean we cannot detect the object by receiving the reflected light with our eyes. Therefore, most of the cloak designs proposed so far are trying to make the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of the objects as small as possible. For example, Alù and Engheta presented the method of using plasmonic and metamaterial covers to reduce the total scattering of a single or a collection of spheres, which relys on an inherently nonresonant scattering cancellation phenomenon [1, 2]; Cloaking device based on anomalous localized resonance, the cylindrical superlens, was proposed by Milton et.

Perfect invisibility can be achieved for TM waves along certain directions. The parameters are just homogeneously anisotropic and relatively easy for practical realizations. Nonmag- netic cloak is also studied to further reducing the complexity of the cloak parameters.
