Surface-plasmon wave at a planar metal-chiral interface

  • Published : 2009.02.12

Abstract

The theoretical study of a surface-plasmon wave at a planar metal-chiral interface is presented in this communication. It is found that a surface-plasmon wave can be excited at the planar interface of a thin metal film and a structurally dielectric chiral medium, if the exciting plane wave is P-polarized.
