Abstract

We propose a method to control electromagnetic flux in an almost arbitrary way in wavelength and subwavelength scales. The capability of subwavelength flux control is enabled by the evanescent waves induced in a class of inhomogeneous anisotropic media with a near-zero permittivity component. By designing the spatial profile of the other permittivity component in such inhomogeneous media, the flow and distribution of energy flux can be conveniently manipulated. This method provides another approach to efficiently control electromagnetic flux in nonmagnetic media.
