Study on Design and Mechanism of a New Invisible Cloak for Visible Light

Abstract:

In order to realize the macroscopic objects invisible in the visible region, according to the law of refraction, total internal reflection law and symmetry reduction transformation method, a new type of visible light stealth cloak was designed. The cloak was prepared using the ordinary homogeneous and isotropic glass materials, which can guide the light around the hidden region, and the direction of propagation of light has not changed. Thus the macroscopic object achieve the perfect stealth. The invisible cloak in air environment for arbitrary polarized visible light have stealth features, easy processing, low cost, has potential application value.
