Abstract

We present a rigorous scheme to render planar dielectric slabs omnidirectionally transparent by coating them with adequately engineered simple electrical impedance sheets compatible with standard printed-circuit-board (PCB) technology. In contrast to cylindrical or spherical cloaks, which practice angular stability via symmetry, our approach leverages macroscopic nonlocality to defy the intrinsic spatial dispersion of Fresnel reflection due to planar slabs. To this end, we analytically invoke the generalized Huygens' condition derived in our previous work to tune these coatings; we thus accomplish a composite of extremely low reflectance and, importantly, desired angular behavior of the transmission phase that mimics free-space propagation over all the range of incident angles and preserves wavefronts. Verified via full-wave simulations, these results are expected to facilitate efficient radomes for wide-angle beam-scanning applications and novel optical elements of extreme nonlocality and low reflectance.
