Abstract

The field of metamaterials and the formalism of transformation optics have provided a prescription for constructing artificial dielectrics with unique properties such as light trapping and cloaking. Here, we describe a different approach to creating an inhomogeneous artificial medium, based on waveguide techniques, which does not rely on engineered subwavelength-scale components. We demonstrate a mirage effect in which an object several times larger than the selected wavelength is rendered invisible by bending a beam around it.
