Electromagnetic localization based on transformation optics.
Localization of an electromagnetic field can be achieved by transformation optics using metamaterials. A coordinate transformation structure different from traditional resonator is proposed. Wherein, arbitrary frequency of the whole band of electromagnetic wave can be localized without energy loss, i.e., the modes in this structure are continuous. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation show that the material parameter variations at the outer boundary of the structure have little influence on the localization property. When realizable physical structure is considered, multi-layer approximation should be applied. The calculated results show that the estimated localization time is about 100 ns for an 8-layer inhomogeneous approximation, and it could reach several seconds for a 30-layer homogeneous approximation. The present work may present a new application of transformation optics.
