We consider regularized approximate cloaking for the Helmholtz equation. Various cloaking schemes have been recently proposed and extensively investigated. The existing cloaking schemes in literature are (optimally) within in 2D and ¦Ñ in 3D of the perfect cloaking, where ¦Ñ denotes the regularization parameter. In this work, we develop a cloaking scheme with a well-designed lossy layer right outside the cloaked region that can produce significantly enhanced near-cloaking performance. In fact, it is proved that the proposed cloaking scheme could (optimally) achieve in , , within the perfect cloaking. It is also shown that the proposed lossy layer is a finite realization of a sound-hard layer. We work with general geometry and arbitrary cloaked contents of the proposed cloaking device.
