Design of Virtual Objects Using Transformation Optics

Guan Xia Yu, Xiu Zhi Wang, Xiao Ying Qiu

Abstract


Two structures of virtual targets filled with metamaterials are investigated through transformation optics to tailor the specific electromagnetic fields into desired spatial patterns. One virtual structure is a square column object transformed from a dielectric cylinder and the other virtual structure is a cylinder object transformed from a dielectric square column. Because the electromagnetic parameters in the virtual objects are obtained from real objects by the method of transformation optics, the scattering fields of virtual structures are the same as those of the real objects. The numerical simulations further prove the correction of theoretical results.
