This paper concerns approximate cloaking by mapping for a full, but scalar wave equation, when one allows for physically relevant frequency dependence of the material properties of the cloak. The paper is a natural continuation of [20], but here we employ ...
The recent discovery of topological states in condensed matter physics has spawned a quest for similar effects in classical physics. Topological insulators are bulk insulators supporting bandgap crossing, chiral edge states that are immune to backscatterin ...
Sensing an incoming signal is typically associated with absorbing a portion of its energy, inherently perturbing the measurement and creating reflections and shadows. Here, in contrast, we demonstrate a non-invasive, shadow-free, invisible sensor for airbo ...
We prove that balanced loss-gain distributions provide an elegant path towards realizing loss-free unidirectional cloaks for objects much larger than the wavelength. By coating a scatterer with an ultrathin metasurface with balanced loss and gain, such as ...
We show that PT-symmetry concepts, combined with an effective nonlocal response, allow realizing all-angle negative refraction and aberration-free optical imaging. The designed PT-symmetric lens is an example of “absolute optical instrument”, with similar ...
All methods presented to date to map both conductivity and permittivity rely on multiple acquisitions to compute quantitatively the magnitude of radiofrequency transmit fields, B1+. In this work, we propose a method to compute both conductivity and permitt ...
A transmission-line acoustic metamaterial is an engineered, periodic arrangement of relatively small unit-cells, the acoustic properties of which can be manipulated to achieve anomalous physical behaviours. These exotic properties open the door to practica ...
We present a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) tunable metamaterial, Fabry-Perot interferometer with a widely tunable mid-infrared response. An array of subwavelength holes in a gold film is suspended above a gold reflector, forming an interferometer c ...
A non-reciprocal acoustic device that accomplishes non-reciprocity via linear or angular-momentum bias. The non-reciprocal acoustic device includes an azimuthally symmetric or planar acoustical cavity (e.g., ring cavity), where the cavity is biased by impo ...
We discuss our recent investigations on breaking time-reversal and spatio-temporal symmetries to provide novel functionalities in the field of metamaterials, with special emphasis on the field of acoustics and sound manipulation. ...
