Electrodynamics of transformation-based invisibility cloaking

Abstract

The existing knowledge on the electrodynamics of invisibility cloaking based on transformation optics is reviewed from an integrated science and engineering perspective. Several significant electromagnetic problems that have resulted in intense discussions in the past few years are summarized in terms of propagation, scattering, radiation and fabrication. Finally, the road ahead toward invisibility cloaking and transformation optics is discussed from the viewpoint of the author. © 2012 CIOMP. All rights reserved.
