Geometry free materials enabled by transformation optics for enhancing the intensity of electromagnetic waves in an arbitrary domain

The concentration of electromagnetic waves (EM) is of utmost importance in many engineering applications such as solar-cells. According to the transformation optics (TO) methodology, a feasible approach for obtaining arbitrary shape concentrators is proposed. In contrary to the previous works, the obtained materials are homogeneous and independent of the concentrator shape. That is regardless of the input geometry always one constant material, which is optic-null medium (ONM), is used and the performance of device will not alter. This competency will ease the design process and circumvent the sophisticated calculations of the necessitating materials. To authenticate the concept, several numerical full-wave simulations were performed for different shape concentrators. It was observed that numerical results exhibit strong agreement with the theoretical investigations and corroborate the generality and effectiveness of the proposed designing method.
