Cylindrical invisibility cloak in action

3D view of the z-component of the electric field associated with a surface plasmon at a wavelength 600nm propagating along a 50nm-high gold film and through an invisibility cloak that surrounds a metallic cylinder. The surface plasmon continues to propagate without any distortion in the field profile.
