An integral approach is presented in the theory of surface electromagnetic waves propagating along the plane interface of bianisotropic non-absorbing media including optically active gyrotropic and bigyrotropic ones. This approach gives a uniform way of obtaining the dispersion equation for surface polaritons for an arbitrary cut section of the bianisotropic crystals and allows us to establish the existence conditions of surface polaritons. An example of application of this approach for the boundary of bianisotropic and isotropic media is given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
