RT Journal Article T1 Design and experimental implementation of a multi-cloak paraxial optical system A1 Fresno-Hernández, Alicia A1 García Cámara, Braulio A1 Torres Zafra, Juan Carlos A1 Sánchez Pena, José Manuel AB Electromagnetic cloaking has being continuously pursued using a large variety of approaches. In recent years, this effect has been observed using either complex devices based on the so-called Transformation Optics or simple systems based on conventional optics with proper characteristics. In the latter case, a simple arrangement of lenses working in the paraxial regime can provide broadband visible cloaking in a wide area. In this work, we analyzed and generalized this method by proposing a five-lens system producing at least three potential invisible regions with a large cloaked area (>90% of the visual field). In particular, we developed the mathematical formalism and show, both numerically and experimentally, the successful operation of the cloaking system with the naked eye.
