Two-dimensional electromagnetic cloaks with arbitrary geometries.
Transformation optics opens an exciting gateway to design electromagnetic "invisibility" cloaks with anisotropic and inhomogeneous medium. In this paper, we establish a generalized transformation procedure to highly improve the flexibilities for the design of two-dimensional (2D) cloaks. The general expressions for the complex medium parameters are developed, which can be readily applied to design 2D cloaks with arbitrary geometries. An example of 2D cloak with irregular cross section is designed and studied by full-wave simulations. The Huygens' Principle is applied to quantitatively evaluate its unusual electromagnetic behaviors. All the theoretical and numerical results verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The generalization in this Paper makes a great step forward for the flexible design of electromagnetic cloaks with arbitrary shapes.
