Invisibility cloaks from forward design to inverse design

Abstract: In this paper, we review the invisibility cloak design methodologies and their experimental developments from a practical perspective, as well as basic underlying theories, derived materials, and experimental implementations. Particular stress is laid on the recent transition from forward design to inverse design where some significant limitations of previous cloaking solution in practice can be solved. We anticipate that future invisibility cloaking devices will be based on integration of both forward and inv… Show more

“…The suppression of light scattering by an object is a topic of broad interest. In recent years, progress has been made with both forward design methods, such as transformation optics [97][98][99][100][101] and scattering cancellation [102], and inverse design approaches [103]. Genetic algorithms are usually adopted for optimizing a multilayer particle or cylinder to achieve omnidirectional scattering reduction [104,105], while topology optimization is more practically associated with designing bidirectional cloaks or resonators that can be realized by a low-index material [106][107][108][109][110][111][112], although in theory it can work for any imaginable objective function [106,113].…”

“…That is why the another cloak design strategy began develop recently. It obtained the name of inverse design as it is related with solving inverse electromagnetic (acoustic or static) problems (see [33,34]). The optimization method forms the core of the inverse design methodology.…”

“…The main one is the difficulty of their technical realization. For example, the design of the TO-based cloaks involves extreme values of constitutive parameters and spatially varying distributions of the permittivity and permeability tensors which are very difficult to implement [12]. That is why the another cloak design strategy began develop recently.…”
