2 Geometry and Light!

3 Review on transformation REVIEW ARTICLE optics! PUBLISHED ONLINE: 23 APRIL 2010 DOI: /NMAT2743 Transformation optics and metamaterials Huanyang Chen 1 *, C. T. Chan 2 and Ping Sheng 2 Underpinned by the advent of metamaterials, transformation optics offers great versatility for controlling electromagnetic waves to create materials with specially designed properties. Here we review the potential of transformation optics to create functionalities in which the optical properties can be designed almost at will. This approach can be used to engineer various optical illusion effects, such as the invisibility cloak. A CHAPTER 2 Transformation Optics and the Geometry of Light Ulf Leonhardt* and Thomas G. Philbin

Pendry, 3 Martin Wegener 1,2,4 We have designed and realized a three-dimensional invisibility-cloaking structure operating at optical wavelengths based on transformation optics. Our blueprint uses a woodpile photonic crystal with a tailored polymer filling fraction to hide a bump in a gold reflector. We fabricated structures and controls by direct laser writing and characterized them by simultaneous high numerical-aperture, far-field optical microscopy and spectroscopy. A cloaking operation with a large bandwidth of unpolarized light from 1.4 to 2.7 micrometers in wavelength is demonstrated for viewing angles up to 60.
