Complementary Media Invisibility Cloak that Cloaks Objects at a Distance Outside the Cloaking Shell

Based on the concept of complementary media, we propose an invisibility cloak operating at a finite frequency that can cloak an object with a prespecified shape and size within a certain distance outside the shell. The cloak is comprised of a dielectric core and an "antiobject" 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.
