Abstract :
This paper describes a two-dimensional optical transformation method that can be used to tailor the propagation of waves confined to a surface. Virtual and physical geometries are employed, and the equivalence of the wave behaviour on these two different surfaces is illustrated using full wave simulations of a graded-index loaded waveguide. This technique has great promise to design devices that are fabricated from metasurfaces.
