AB  - The underlying principles of Transformation Optics are reviewed. The covariant representation of Maxwell’s equations used enables us to describe two canonical examples of cloaking – spatial (object) and spacetime (event) cloaking – within a single unified formalism. Experimental implementations of both types of cloak are described that exploit reduced parameter schemes. Other methods that reduce the technological challenges for object cloaking include so-called carpet cloaking, a form of which can be achieved with naturally occurring birefringent media, and conformal (‘refractive index only’) cloaking in 2-D.
