| Summary: | We theoretically investigate the illusion device designed by a conformal transformation that can render an elliptic defect behave like a flat mirror. Different from illusion devices consisting of the complementary medium and anti-object with negative permittivity and permeability, our proposed illusion device requires only isotropic positive permittivity medium. It offers a possible route to eliminate the lateral shift in the conventional quasi-conformal carpet cloak. Interestingly, with the same conformal transformation, we can achieve an impedance-matched flat absorber by simply varying the shape and the refractive index of the defects. Both the illumination device and the absorber in our design have broad bandwidth, wide-illumination range and polarization-insensitive performance. |
