“…If one of the coordinate axes is chosen to be parallel to this distinguished direction, it turns out that the parameter tensor is diagonal but the element referring to the distinguished axis is different from the remaining two diagonal ones. Some features of the waveguides of uniaxial anisotropic material have been analyzed and their applications made by some authors [4,7,8]. It's found in our study that the fields in a rectangular conducting waveguide filled with uniaxially anisotropic material are split into TE and TM modes after solving the eigenvalue equation.…”

“…Initial investigations of SPP waves were focused on the interface of a metal and an isotropic dielectric material (Kretschmann & Raether 1968;Simon et al 1975). The theory was later extended to interfaces of metals and anisotropic dielectric materials (Singh & Thyagarajan 1991;Mihalache et al 1994). With the current surge of interest in application of SPP-wave-based techniques for biosensing (Homola et al 1999;Abdulhalim et al 2008), imaging (Aoki et al 2005;Kanda et al 2005) and information transmission in computer chips (Maier et al 2001), the propagation of SPPs at the interface of a metal and manufactured structures such as photonic crystals is now being explored (Huang & Zhu 2007;Hassani et al 2008).…”

The solution of a dispersion equation indicates the theoretical existence of multiple modes of surface plasmon polariton wave propagation at the planar interface of a metal and a chiral sculptured thin film (STF). One mode appears to occur over a wide range of the structural period of the chiral STF, while all other modes exist only above some minimum value of the structural period, the minimum value being different for each mode. In order to excite the different modes, the interface can be incorporated in the commonplace Kretschmann configuration, for which our calculations show that the efficient excitation of different modes would require different numbers of structural periods of the chiral STF.

“…Most published research deals with SPP waves guided by the interface of a metal with an isotropic dielectric material, both homogeneous [4,5,6]. Guidance by the interface of a metal with an anisotropic dielectric material has also been examined [7,8,9,10,11,12]. The interface of a metal with a periodically nonhomogeneous and anisotropic dielectric material has recently been found to support more than one mode of SPP-wave propagation at a fixed frequency [13,14,15].…”

We explored the effects of relative motion on the excitation of surface-plasmon-polariton (SPP) waves guided by the planar interface of a metal film and a dielectric slab, both materials being isotropic and homogeneous. Electromagnetic phasors in moving and non-moving reference frames were related directly using the corresponding Lorentz transformations. Our numerical studies revealed that, in the case of a uniformly moving dielectric slab, the angle of incidence for SPP-wave excitation is highly sensitive to (i) the ratio β of the speed of motion to speed of light in free space and (ii) the direction of motion. When the direction of motion is parallel to the plane of incidence, the SPP wave is excited by p-polarized (but not s-polarized) incident plane waves for low and moderate values of β, while at higher values of β the total reflection regime breaks down. When the direction of motion is perpendicular to the plane of incidence, the SPP wave is excited by p-polarized incident plane waves for low values of β, but s-polarized incident plane waves at moderate values of β, while at higher values of β the SPP wave is not excited. In the case of a uniformly moving metal film, the sensitivity to β and the direction of motion is less obvious.
