Abstract: Provided is an optical device that involves a simple attachment operation without the need for an adjustment process. The optical device includes a transparent body portion having a plurality of curved faces on its outer peripheral surface; and a blind-spot-side outward facing curved reflecting mirror, a blind-spot-side inward facing curved reflecting mirror, an eve-point-side inward facing curved reflecting mirror, and an eye-point-side outward facing curved reflecting mirror, which are integrally formed with the body portion. The body portion has formed therein an optical path that allows a light beam reflected by the blind-spot-side outward facing curved reflecting mirror to be sequentially reflected by the blind-spot-side inward facing curved reflecting mirror and the eye-point-side inward facing curved reflecting minor and then reach the eye-point-side outward facing curved reflecting mirror.

Abstract: According to one or more embodiments described herein, a cloaking device may comprise a first mirror, a second mirror, a third mirror, and a fourth mirror. The cloaking device may further comprise a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, and a fourth lens. Each of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens may be achromatic cylindrical lenses, or each of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens may be acylindrical lenses.

Abstract: An optical device displaying an image of a blind spot includes a blind spot-side outward mirror disposed on a blind spot-side of a line of sight with respect to an obstacle; a blind spot-side inward mirror disposed to face the blind spot-side outward minor; an eye point-side inward mirror disposed on an eye point-side of the line of sight with respect to the obstacle; and an eye point-side outward minor disposed to face the eye point-side inward mirror. Each of the blind spot-side inward mirror and the eye point-side inward mirror has a plurality of reflection surfaces, and the reflection surfaces are arranged in parallel with each other and arranged at positions where the reflection surfaces partially overlap with each other.

Abstract: A cloaking device includes object-side and image-side curved cloaking region boundaries with outward facing mirror surfaces and inward facing opaque surfaces. A cloaking region is bounded by the inward facing opaque surfaces of the object-side and image-side curved CR boundaries. An object-side curved reflection boundary with an inward facing mirror surface is positioned proximate to the object-side curved cloaking region boundary and an image-side curved reflection boundary with an inward facing mirror surface is positioned proximate to the image-side curved cloaking region boundary. Light from an object located on the object-side of the cloaking device and obscured by the cloaking region is redirected around the cloaking region by the outward facing mirror surfaces of the object-side and image-side curved cloaking region boundaries and the inward facing mirror surfaces of the object-side and image-side curved reflection boundaries.

Abstract: A cloaking device includes cloaking region boundary planes oriented non-planar to each other, each of the cloaking region boundary planes having an outward facing mirror surface and an inward facing opaque surface. The cloaking device includes a cloaking region bounded at least partially by the inward facing opaque surfaces of the cloaking region boundary planes. Light from an object positioned on the object-side of the cloaking device and obscured by the CR has a first optical path through the cloaking device and light from the object not obscured by the CR has a second optical path through the cloaking device. A first matching medium is positioned between the object-side and the image-side in the second optical path and increases the second optical path length such that an optical path difference between the first optical path length and the second optical path length is reduced.
