Abstract
A cloaking device includes an object-side, an image-side, an object-side cloaking region (CR) reflection boundary having an outward facing mirror surface, and an image-side CR reflection boundary having an outward facing mirror surface. A cloaking region is bounded by the object-side CR reflection boundary and the image-side CR reflection boundary. An object-side lens, an image-side lens and at least one exterior reflection boundary are included. Light from an object positioned on the object-side of the cloaking device and obscured by the cloaking region is focused by the object-side lens, reflected by the object-side CR reflection boundary, the at least one exterior reflection boundary and the image-side CR reflection boundary, and focused by the image-side lens to form an image of the object on the image-side of the cloaking device such that the light from the object appears to pass through the cloaking region.
