The TM-polarized surface plasma modes on a thin metallic cylindrical shell imbedded in dielectric media are investigated. The dipersion characteristics of both bound modes and leaky waves are obtained for two sets of material parameters, the first corresponding to an optical fiber in which the metallic shell occupies a region between the core and the cladding and the second corresponding to a metal coated cylindrical rod in vacuum.
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.
