A simple design of an artificial electromagnetic black hole
Abstract
We study the properties of an artificial electromagnetic black hole for transverse magnetic modes rigorously. A multi-layered structure of such a black hole is then proposed as a reduced variety for easy experimental realizations. An actual design of composite materials based on the effective medium theory is given eventually with only five kinds of real isotropic materials. The finite element method confirms the functionality of such a simple design.
