title: Two-dimensional elliptical electromagnetic superscatterer and superabsorber.
abstract: Using coordinate transformation stated earlier by Pendry et al. [Science 312, 1780 (2006)], we investigate the two-dimensional elliptical electromagnetic superscatterer and superabsorber, based on the concept of complementary media. Such an elliptical electromagnetic superscatterer (or superabsorber) is realized by coating an elliptical negative refractive material shell. The effectiveness of the elliptical electromagnetic superscatterer and superabsorber designs is verified by finite element simulations. The proposed design provides a more practical superscatterer (or superabsorber) geometry when compared to previous designs with axial and radial symmetries. Our results can be extended to an arbitrarily shaped electromagnetic superscatterer and superabsorber.
