Invisible gateway for both light waves and rays.

Author
Abstract
:

Considering that previous invisible gateways (an open entrance that only blocks electromagnetic waves) based on super-scatters designed by transformation optics cannot effectively work for narrow beams and light rays that do not touch negative refractive index material, we explore a new way to realize an improved invisible gateway that can give a good performance for both light waves and rays. In all previous invisible gateways, they require a finite thickness of the wall and the gateway. For the improved invisible gateway proposed in this study, there is no requirement on the thickness of the wall and gateway, i.e. the wall and gateway can be infinitely thin. Our study will go a further step to realize the invisible gateway in fiction.
