16. A geometry that may somehow resemble the one suggested here has been recently proposed to achieve cloaking at optical frequencies (Ref.). However, despite some apparent geometrical similarities, the cloaking technique, the material parameters, and the physical behavior of the cloak presented here are completely different than those presented in Ref.. Moreover, the two cloaks work for two different (orthogonal) polarizations of the electromagnetic wave.
