Abstract
Inspired by electromagnetic waveguide cloaks with gradient index metamaterials, we fabricated a broadband cloak with simply a gradient depth profile on the bottom and without any other structures on the top to confine water waves in a certain area for cloaking regions. The new physics of mode conversion for water waves is first found. The experimental and numerical simulation results are in good agreement and show that the presented device has a nice performance for various situations and is feasible over a broadband of working frequencies. Being easy to construct, this design is potentially of significance for port applications.
