“…These asymptotes establish a canalization regime leading to a collective directional propagation of DSW beams [8,9,28]. At this point it is necessary to remind that the asymptotes of the e-waves dispersion curve, in the k y k z -plane, have slopes given by tan 2 θ e = −ε ⊥ /ε || .…”

Abstract:We analyzed surface-wave propagation that takes place at the boundary between a semi-infinite dielectric and a multilayered metamaterial, the latter with indefinite permittivity and cut normally to the layers. Known hyperbolization of the dispersion curve is discussed within distinct spectral regimes, including the role of the surrounding material. Hybridization of surface waves enable tighter confinement near the interface in comparison with pure-TM surface-plasmon polaritons. We demonstrate that the effective-medium approach deviates severely in practical implementations. By using the finite-element method, we predict the existence of long-range oblique surface waves.

“…Engineered spatial dispersion is established as an essential route for diffraction management and subwavelength imaging [6,7]. In particular, a giant birefringence also creates proper conditions for excitation of nonresonant hybrid surface waves with potential application in nanosensing [8,9].…”

“…[18][19][20][21] In contrast to the above interface system, a layered metal-dielectric MM and an isotropic dielectric form another interface system, where HSPPs should result from the interface coupling of the ordinary evanescent wave in the dielectric and the ordinary and extraordinary evanescent waves in the MM, [20][21][22][23][24] and were called the Dyakonov-like surface wave. 20,25,26 These works 20-24 took a negative constant or an experimental value at a fixed frequency to replace the real part of metal permittivity and directly used the dispersion equations in Ref. 13, so they provided only the iso-frequency dispersion curves of the HSPP.…”

Hybrid-polarization surface plasmon polaritons (HSPPs) at the interface between an isotropic medium and a one-dimensional metal–dielectric metamaterial (MM) were discussed, where the metal-layer permittivity was described with the improved Drude model. From the obtained dispersion equations, we predicated five types of HSPPs. One type is the Dyakonov-like surface polariton and another type is the tradition-like surface polarton. The others are new types of HSPPs. We establish a numerical simulation method of the attenuated total reflection (ATR) measurement to examine these HSPPs. The results from the ATR spectra are consistent with those from the dispersion equations and indicate the different polarization features of these HSPPs. The numerical results also demonstrate that the observation of each type of HSPPs requires different conditions dictated by the material parameters and the polarization direction of incident light used in the ATR spectra. These results may further widen the space of potential applications of surface plasmon polaritons.

“…In particular, striking results are attained if the anisotropic structures include metallic nanoelements, as it occurs for example with a simple metal-dielectric (MD) multilayer, a case where the angular range may surpass half of a right angle [21,22]. Caused by the specific damping capacity of metals, however, the propagation length of these DSWs is strongly limited by the penetration depth inside the lossy metamaterial [23].…”

a b s t r a c tWe analyze the existence of localized waves in the vicinities of the interface between two dielectrics, provided one of them is uniaxial and lossy. We found two families of surface waves, one of them approaching the well-known Dyakonov surface waves (DSWs). In addition, a new family of wave fields exists which are tightly bound to the interface. Although its appearance is clearly associated with the dissipative character of the anisotropic material, the characteristic propagation length of such surface waves might surpass the working wavelength by nearly two orders of magnitude.
