On widening the angular existence domain for Dyakonov surface waves using the Pockels effect
S. R. Nelatury, J. A. Polo, A. Lakhtakia
The propagation of Dyakonov surface waves (DSWs) at the planar interface between an isotropic material and a linear electro-optic birefringent material can be dynamically controlle…
Sculptured-thin-film plasmonic-polaritonics
A. Lakhtakia, J. A. Polo, M. A. Motyka
The solution of a boundary--value problem formulated for the Kretschmann configuration shows that the phase speed of a surface--plasmon--polariton (SPP) wave guided by the planar i…
Engineering the phase speed of surface-plasmon wave at the planar interface of a metal and a chiral sculptured thin film
Akhlesh Lakhtakia, John A. Polo
The solution of a boundary-value problem formulated for a modified Kretschmann configuration shows that the phase speed of a surface-plasmon wave guided by the planar interface of…
Dyakonov-Tamm wave at the planar interface of a chiral sculptured thin film and an isotropic dielectric material
Akhlesh Lakhtakia, John A. Polo
Surface waves, named here as Dyakonov-Tamm waves, can exist at the planar interface of an isotropic dielectric material and a chiral sculptured thin film (STF). Due to the periodic…
