It was proposed that perfect invisibility cloaks can be constructed for hiding objects from electromagnetic
illumination (Pendry et al., Science 312, p. 1780). The cylindrical cloaks experimentally
demonstrated (Schurig et al., Science 314, p. 997) and theoretically proposed (Cai et al., Nat. Photon.
1, p. 224) have however simplified material parameters in order to facilitate easier realization
as well as to avoid infinities in optical constants. Here we show that the cylindrical cloaks with
simplified material parameters inherently allow the zeroth-order cylindrical wave to pass through
the cloak as if the cloak is made of a homogeneous isotropic medium, and thus visible. To all
high-order cylindrical waves, our numerical simulation suggests that the simplified cloak inherits
some properties of the ideal cloak, but finite scatterings exist.

We analyze, both analytically and numerically, the effectiveness
of cloaking an infinite cylinder from observations by electromagnetic
waves in three dimensions. We show that, as truncated approximations
of the ideal permittivity and permeability tensors tend towards
the singular ideal cloaking fields, so that the anisotropy ratio tends to
infinity, the D and B fields blow up near the cloaking surface. Since
the metamaterials used to implement cloaking are based on effective
medium theory, the resulting large variation in D and B will pose a
challenge to the suitability of the field averaged characterization of "
and 碌. We also consider cloaking with and without the SHS (softand-
hard surface) lining, shown in [6] to be theoretically necessary
for cloaking in the cylindrical geometry. We demonstrate numerically
that cloaking is significantly improved by the SHS lining, with both
the far field of the scattered wave significantly reduced and the blow
up of D and B prevented.
