Nonlinear Surface Polaritons
Abstract Surface polaritons are electromagnetic waves guided by a single interface between two semi-infinite media, or by single or multiple films bounded by two semi-infinite media. In all cases the electromagnetic fields decay with distance from the boundary into the semi-infinite media in an exponential-like fashion, resulting in fields localized near or at the surface(s). The 1/e penetration distances are typically less than one optical wavelength. For all surface guided waves, the propagation wavevector parallel to the surface is always larger than that for plane wave propagation in the bounding media. There are two polarization states possible in optically isotropic media: s-polarized (p-polarized) for which the electric (magnetic) field lies in the plane of the interface and is orthogonal to the propagation wavevector. Such surface guided waves have been investigated both theoretically and experimentally for many years now. In fact, waves guided by thin dielectric films have evolved into the field of integrated optics, which has many applications in electro-optics and all-optical devices.
