Abstract

An invisibility cloak makes itself and the object inside undetectable from the outside. For a cloak designed using transformation optics, light is bent around the object by changing the sizes and shapes of the local dispersion surfaces of the metamaterials surrounding the object. Here, the authors have found another way to build a cloak by using a concept called pseudomagnetic field, which accelerates the photon in a direction perpendicular to its velocity. It corresponds to shifting local dispersion surfaces. The new cloak bends the light in an asymmetric fashion for light passing the left and right side of the object for a fixed polarization of pseudospin. A truncation of the inner materials of the cloak creates an additional asymmetric transmission behavior. Furthermore, the new method also enables one to design more optical devices, such as a retroreflector.

  • The off-diagonal components of permittivity and permeability appear as a pair of spin-dependent vector potentials in the 2D wave equation for certain anisotropic media.

    “It was demonstrated that the off-diagonal components of permittivity and permeability appear as a pair of “spin-dependent” vector potentials in the two-dimensional (2D) wave equation for certain anisotropic media.”

    From Non-Abelian gauge field optics (2019) · cites this paper as [29]

    Section II.A, Eqs. (4)–(6), links off-diagonal permittivity and permeability terms to a pseudogauge field and describes opposite dispersion shifts for two pseudospin polarizations in the xy plane. Our copy does not present the claimed pair of vector potentials in a 2D wave equation; it expresses the relationship through material tensors and dispersion surfaces. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
