Shrinking device realized by using layered structures of homogeneous isotropic materials

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/21/6/064101

Abstract We propose the practical realization of a shrinking device by using layered structures of homogeneous isotropic materials. By mimicking the shrinking device with concentric alternating thin layers of isotropic dielectrics, the permittivity and the permeability in each isotropic layer can be properly determined from the effective medium theory in order to achieve the shrinking effect. The device realized by multilayer coating with dielectrics is validated by TE wave simulation, and good shrinking performance is demonstrated with only a few layers of homogeneous isotropic materials.

Keywords: shrinking device effective medium theory multilayered structure
