The control of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) has been an important subject in developing optoelectronic devices in nanophotonics. In most of the previous studies, control has been performed through the manipulation of the incident angle of the light, its polarization state, and the surface structures patterned on the metal surface. In this study, we demonstrated the generation and control of SPPs by using a transfer matrix measurement and wavefront shaping, and proved that the SPPs can be controlled by higher degrees of freedom than conventional research.
