Surface transformation multi-physics for controlling electromagnetic and acoustic waves simultaneously

2020 
A multi-physics null medium that performs as a perfect endoscope for both electromagnetic and acoustic waves is designed by transformation optics, which opens a new way to control electromagnetic and acoustic waves simultaneously. Surface transformation multi-physics, which is a novel graphical method to design multi-physics devices, is proposed based on the directional projecting feature of a multi-physics null medium. Many multi-physics devices, including beam shifters, scattering reduction, imaging devices and beam steering devices, for both electromagnetic and acoustic waves can be simply designed in a surface-corresponding manner. All devices designed by surface transformation multi-physics only need one homogeneous anisotropic medium (null medium) to realize, which can be approximately implemented by a brass plate array without any artificial sub-wavelength structures. Numerical simulations are given to verify the performances of the designed multi-physics devices made of brass plate array.
