Abstract

Recently published methods for the quasi-static limit of the Helmholtz equation is extended to consider near cloaking for the full Maxwell equations. Effective near cloaking structures are described for the electromagnetic scattering problem at a fixed frequency. These structures are, prior to using the transformation optics, layered structures designed so that their first scattering coefficients vanish. As a result, any target inside the cloaking region has near-zero scattering cross section for a band of frequencies. Analytical results show that this construction significantly enhances the cloaking effect for the full Maxwell equations.
