Abstract
Controlling the propagation of light is always an interesting research topic for a variety of applications such as light trapping, display and imaging. Recently, using the invariance of Maxwell’s equation, transformation optics has provided a new method to design devices for manipulating light propagation [1] [2]. Here, based on transformation optics, we experimentally demonstrate a two-dimensional optical lift with large viewing angle for the light in visible wavelength. The device is made of a single piece of calcite crystal with ne=1.66, and no=1.48, which is a natural homogeneous birefringent material with low-loss in visible regime.
