Transformation optics has brought a wave of fanaticism among researchers to realize the first-ever invisible cloak over the past decade. Several relevant devices, including internal cloaks, external cloaks, and mantle cloaks, have already been proposed, with a few being experimentally demonstrated. Still, the proposed cloaks possess their insufficiencies to realize a reciprocal cloak. To better illustrate the cloak, here we report a new approach to a transformation-optics-based reciprocal cloak with designed dielectric-annulus-based metamaterials. Our results indicate we can easily control the anisotropic constitutive parameters at will. In addition, the as-fabricated cloak enables concurrent vision and movements of a hidden object, evidenced by both simulated and measured field distributions. More importantly, the cloak demands no bespoke design and is applicable to arbitrary electric-large objects. We affirm that we provide a method to developing the first-ever reciprocal cloak in experiments, and believe that the cloak could be further operated at visible ranges through the methodology we introduced, paving a route toward future applications in the fields of optics, physics, materials science, etc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
