Field profiles of bulk plasmon polariton modes in layered systems containing a metamaterial

Electric and magnetic fields in a one-dimensional layered system that alternates air and a metamaterial are investigated. Special attention is devoted to frequencies of electric and magnetic bulk plasmons. It is shown that plasmon polaritons nearby such frequencies display field profiles concentrate...

Description
Summary:Electric and magnetic fields in a one-dimensional layered system that alternates air and a metamaterial are investigated. Special attention is devoted to frequencies of electric and magnetic bulk plasmons. It is shown that plasmon polaritons nearby such frequencies display field profiles concentrated in the metamaterial, where the field component parallel to the stacking direction is essentially uniform and dominates the perpendicular one.
