摘要

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.
