Experimental demonstration of a broadband array of invisibility cloaks in the visible frequency range

Very recently Farhat et al (2011, Phys. Rev. B 84 235105) suggested that arrays of invisibility cloaks may find important applications in low-interference communication, noninvasive probing, sensing and communication networks and so on. We report on the first experimental realization of such an array of broadband invisibility cloaks that operates in the visible frequency range. The wavelength and angular dependences of the cloak array performance have been studied.
