Organizer(s)/Presenter(s):
Description:
We demonstrate an optical cloaking display using plane symmetric transfer optics (mirror and dihedral corner reflector array). The developed display has features that are view independent, corresponding to a broadband wavelength, achieving a large-size cloaking, and a perfectly preserved light field.
