Abstract: A CRTR (Continuous Resonant Trap Refractor) is the name given to waveguides having a tapered core and a cladding which disperses radiant energy admitted via the aperture at the wide end of the tapered core, and emits the energy in sorted fashion via the cladding. As individual waves reach a width of the core in which they can not propagate along the tapered core waveguide, and are emitted via the cladding sorted at frequency dependent depth. Alternatively, the CRTR admits radiant energy via the cladding and mixes and emits the combined energy via the aperture. The present invention is directed The invention discloses several uses of CRTRs and aspects of the invention include inter alia imagers, camouflage devices, radar and heat signature reduction devices, communications, target designation, and the like.
