Cylindrical invisibility cloak design

(a) A surface plasmon-polariton (SPP) propagates along a metal-dielectric interface and scatters when it encounters a metallic cylinder. (b) Transformation optics is used to design a device capable of guiding the SPP around the cylinder. (c) This generates an invisibility cloak surrounding the metallic cylinder so that the SPP is smoothly guided around it.
