We also show that under this condition the medium is omnidirectionally invisible for k <= alpha/2, i.e. it displays broadband invisibility regardless of the polarization of the incident wave.WaveguideEigenvaluePhotonicsExactness of the first born approximation in electromagnetic scatteringJournal article1163361500008Q141169
