We propose broadband one-dimensional optical cloaking design based on isotropic and purely dielectric non-absorbent materials. The photonic structures are formed by utilizing graded index (GRIN) concept in stacked form. All simulations are performed by finite-difference time-domain and plane wave basis frequency domain numerical methods. Indications in ray optics are also presented for the cloaking device. The refractive index distribution of the design is also obtained via effective medium theory. The cloaking devices can reroute wavelengths of light in one dimension. The rerouted light is avoided to reach the interior region of the stacked GRIN structure. Unidirectional GRIN cloaking structure demonstrates low-loss and large bandwidth characteristics. It is shown that the structure operates in dual polarization mode. Performed numerical analyses reveal the capability of cloaking devices to hide arbitrary shaped large objects from the incident light.
