The cloak redirects and bends the light such that this distortion is countered the mirror appears to be flat and the object is invisible.
Carpet cloak visible.
An object can be hidden under the mirror the carpet yet without cloak the bump would still be seen as a distortion in the mirror reflection.
We report an invisibility carpet cloak device which is capable of making an object undetectable by visible light.
Ultrathin metasurfaces pave an encouraging way for invisibility carpet cloaks on account of their excellent electromagnetic wavefront manipulation.
The cloak is designed using quasi conformal mapping and is fabricated in a silicon nitride waveguide on a specially developed nanoporous silicon oxide substrate with a very low refractive index n 1 25.
However the current metasurface based carpet cloaks operate at only one wavelength and are limited by their narrow bandwidth.

Andrews in scotland who was not involved in either study says the future of optical legerdemain lies not in hiding things but in revealing them.
Here we propose and numerically demonstrate a novel metasurface design for broadband carpet cloaking with linear polarization at visible wavelengths from 650 nm to 800 nm.
Finally from a distance the carpet cloak looks like a mirror so scientists have to create this effect without the object looking like a mirror which will take some time.
To date broadband carpet cloaking based on metasurfaces has not been achieved and operation has been limited to discrete wavelengths.
Here the cloak sits on top of a bump in a mirror.
