摘要：

We develop an approach to utilize anisotropic metamaterials to solve one of the fundamental problems of modern plasmonics-parasitic scattering of surface waves into free-space modes, opening the road to truly two-dimensional plasmonic optics. We illustrate the developed formalism on the examples of plasmonic refractor and plasmonic crystal, and discuss limitations of the developed technique and its possible applications for sensing and imaging structures, high-performance mode couplers, optical cloaking structures, and dynamically reconfigurable electroplasmonic circuits.
