Optical conformal mapping has been used to construct several isotropic devices with novel functionalities. In particular, a conformal cloak could confer omnidirectional invisibility. However, the maximum values of the refractive indexes needed for current designs are too large to implement, even in microwave experiments. Furthermore, most devices designed so far have had imperfect impedance matching and therefore incomplete invisibility functionalities. Here we describe a perfect conformal invisible device with full impedance matching everywhere. The maximum value of refractive index required by our device is just about five, which is feasible for microwave and terahertz experiments using current metamaterial techniques. To construct the device, we use a logarithmic conformal mapping and a Mikaelian lens. Our results should enable a conformal invisible device with almost perfect invisibility to be made soon.

V článku jsme navrhli nový optický profil s prvky neviditelnosti, v němž je rozsah indexu lomu výrazně nižší než u podobných profilů se stejnou funkcí, navržených dříve. Pro konstrukci tohoto profilu indexu lomu využíváme Mikaelianovu čočku a logaritmické konformní zobrazení. Náš návrh otevírá cestu k experimentální realizaci tohoto neviditelného optického zařízení.
