Abstract: We outline a method for constructing effectively two-dimensional isotropic optical media that are perfectly and omnidirectionally invisible for both TE and TM waves provided that their wavenumber does not exceed a preassigned value

a l p h a

. This relies on the observation that a complex scattering potential

v (x, y)

displays perfect invisibility for wavenumbers

k l e q a l p h a

provided that its Fourier transform with respect to

y

, which we denote by

i l d e v (x, m a t h f r a k K_{y})

, vanishes for

m a t h f r a k K_{y} l e q 2 a l p h a

. We use this result to construct the permittivity profile for a realistic optical slab that is perfectly invisible in the wavenumber window

[0, a l p h a]

.
