In this paper, a method to reduce the profile of layered carpet cloaks is proposed. We analytically prove and numerically demonstrate that using a Low Index Material (LIM), a material with a relative dielectric constant smaller than 1, in construction of carpet cloaks can remarkably reduce their profiles. Using the proposed technique, a carpet cloak consisting of alternating LIM and silicon layers is designed to provide invisibility at visible wavelengths. The designed cloak has a profile that is 2.3 times smaller than a carpet cloak without LIM layers. To realize low index materials at optical wavelengths, silver-coated CdSe/CdS quantum dots dispersed in a polymer host are used. Quantum dots are utilized to compensate the loss of Silver and to achieve a low index medium with neglectable loss. The designed low profile carpet cloak is numerically analyzed showing a good performance for a wide range of incident angles which is the advantage of the proposed structure in comparison with metasurface-based carpet cloaks which work only for a very narrow range of incident angles.

Realizing camouflage by illusion and cloaking based on the metasurface has received widespread attention recently. However, existing metasurface-based illusion and cloaking devices are valid for the incident wave with a specific frequency, angle, or polarization, or exhibit a single function. Therefore, a terahertz tunable vanadium dioxide (VO) metasurface carpet cloak is proposed for dynamic illusion and cloaking.

Thanks to the pioneering studies conducted on the fields of transformation optics (TO) and metasurfaces, many unprecedented devices such as invisibility cloaks have been recently realized. However, each of these methods has some drawbacks limiting the applicability of the designed devices for real-life scenarios. For instance, TO studies lead to bulky coating layer with the thickness that is comparable to, or even larger than the dimension of the concealed object.

In this article, we propose all-dielectric carpet cloaks composed of jungle gym shaped dielectric unit cells and present a design strategy for three-dimensional (3-D) anisotropy control based on the transformation optics. The carpet cloaks are 3-D printable and operate with polarization independent incident waves in arbitrary incident angles due to the 3-D anisotropy control. Realizable anisotropic permittivities of cubic and rectangular unit cells are numerically studied based on the relative permittivity and loss tangent of = 2.

Designing invisibility cloaks has always been one of the most fascinating fields of research; in this regard, metasurface-based carpet cloaks have drawn researchers' attention due to their inherent tenuousness, resulting in a lower loss and easier fabrication. However, their performances are dependent on the incident angle of the coming wave; as a result, designing a carpet cloak capable of rendering objects under it invisible for a wide range of angles requires advanced methods. In this paper, using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, along with a trained neural network, a metasurface-based carpet cloak is developed capable to operate for a wide range of incident angles.
