摘要
A new macroscopic multidirectional cloak scheme for extraordinary rays is proposed by controlling the optical axes of uniaxial crystals. It eliminates the complicated material constraints and can also be utilized to design a cloaking device for ordinary rays or isotropic cloaks after simplification. Numerical ray tracing and full-wave simulation results validate our design. Moreover, if the uniaxial crystals are changed into other materials whose optical axes can be modulated, like liquid crystals, this scheme has the potential to fabricate direction-tunable cloaks.
