Trapping photons with optical black hole

Abstract An optical black-hole cavity based on transformation optics enables Q-factor enhancement and strong field confinement, by eliminating the intrinsic radiation loss of the conventional whispering-gallery modes, holding potential for applications in energy harvesting and optoelectronics.
