Show affiliationsPart of Focus on Cloaking and Transformation Optics
We show how transformation media can make a superantenna that is either completely invisible or focuses incoming light into a needle-sharp beam. Our idea is based on representing three-dimensional space as a foliage of sheets and performing two-dimensional conformal maps on each sheet.
