Abstract

Extending Transformation Optics in optical range is challenging because of losses in metamaterials. We propose, instead, to use dielectric photonic crystals capable of supporting superluminal wave propagation and realizing spatial dispersion of refractive index values. Implementing these materials in cylindrical invisibility cloaks is demonstrated.
