Producing a cloak to hide objects from visible light, which has a
wavelength several orders of magnitude smaller
than microwaves — let alone cloaking objects when viewed from any direction — seemed a more remote possibility.
The vibrations also have
wavelengths less
than a thousandth as long as
microwaves of the same frequency, so the resonators can be far more compact, he says.
Fabricating a device that captures optical
wavelengths in the same way will not be easy, as visible light has a
wavelength orders of magnitude smaller
than that of
microwave radiation.
Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation of
wavelengths longer
than the red end of visible light and shorter
than microwaves, extending roughly from 1 micron (10 - 6 m) to 350 microns.
This is in addition to there being a much higher partial pressure of water vapor (up to 2.5 %) in the atmosphere
than that of CO2 (400ppm which varies with height) It should also be noted that the absorptivity and emissivity of liquid water is close to unity across the full range of
wavelength from UV to
microwaves.
