Based on the transformation media theory, the authors propose a way to replace a wide window with a narrow slit filled with designed metamaterial to achieve the same transmittance as the one of the window. Numerical simulations for a two dimensional case are given to illustrate the ideas and the performance of the design.

Based on the concept of complementary media, we propose an invisibility cloak operating at a finite frequency that can cloak an object with a pre-specified shape and size within a certain distance outside the shell. The cloak comprises of a dielectric core, and an anti-object embedded inside a negative index shell. The cloaked object is not blinded by the cloaking shell since it lies outside the cloak. Full-wave simulations in two dimensions have been performed to verify the cloaking effect.
We propose a general method to evaluate the material parameters for arbitrary shape transformation media. By solving the original coordinates in the transformed region via Laplaces equations, we can obtain the deformation field numerically, in turn the material properties of the devices to be designed such as cloaks, rotators or concentrators with arbitrary shape. Devices which have non-fixed outer boundaries, such as beam guider, can also be designed by the proposed method. Examples with full wave simulation are given for illustration. In the end, wave velocity and energy change in the transformation media are discussed with help of the deformation view.
Complex and interesting electromagnetic behavior can be found in spaces with non-flat topology. When considering the properties of an electromagnetic medium under an arbitrary coordinate transformation an alternative interpretation presents itself. The transformed material property tensors may be interpreted as a different set of material properties in a flat, Cartesian space. We describe the calculation of these material properties for coordinate transformations that describe spaces with spherical or cylindrical holes in them. The resulting material properties can then implement invisibility cloaks in flat space. We also describe a method for performing geometric ray tracing in these materials which are both inhomogeneous and anisotropic in their electric permittivity and magnetic permeability.
A stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) would gravitationally lens the cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons. We find that the lensing due to gravitational waves(GW) is more efficient as compared to lensing due to scalar density perturbations. Though the effect of lensing due to GW is found to effect all the four CMB power spectra, its effect is most prominently seen in the CMB polarization power spectra. This suggests that the measurements of the CMB angular power spectra could be used to constraining the energy density ($Omega_{GW}$) of the SGBW. In our analysis we find that the most stringent constraints on $Omega_{GW}$ are due to measurements of the angular power spectra of CMB temperature anisotropies. We show that in the future it will be possible to place more stringent bounds on $Omega_{GW}$ using improved upper limits or detections of the angular power spectra of the B-modes of CMB polarization at large multipoles.

By solving Maxwell equations with the ideal-metal boundary conditions in the TM case, we have fully described the transmission and diffraction properties of a single slit regardless of its width. Efficiencies of the main transformation processes -- transmission, diffraction, and reflection -- are analyzed in the sub-to-few-wavelength range showing a number of sharp fundamental features. Close links with the case of real metal are considered.
