Transformation devices with optical nihility media and reduced realizations

Abstract

Starting from optical nihility media (ONM), we design several intriguing devices with transformation optics method in two dimensions, such as a wave splitter, a concave lens, a field rotator, a concentrator and an invisibility cloak. The extreme anisotropic property of ONM hinders the fabrication of these devices, which could be effectively realized by simplified materials with Fabry-P\'erot resonances (FPs) at discrete frequencies. Moreover, we propose a reduced version of simplified materials with FPs to construct a concentrator and a rotator, which is feasible in experimental fabrications. The simulations of total scattering cross sections confirm their functionalities.
