Total conversion from photons to surface plasmons at the corrugated boundary of a uniaxial crystal

The interaction between light and surface-plasmon resonances in the corrugated interface between a uniaxial crystal and a metal is investigated theoretically within the framework of the Rayleigh hypothesis. The analysis allows us to predict the existence of critical conditions for which total conver...

Sumario:The interaction between light and surface-plasmon resonances in the corrugated interface between a uniaxial crystal and a metal is investigated theoretically within the framework of the Rayleigh hypothesis. The analysis allows us to predict the existence of critical conditions for which total conversion between photons and surface plasmons may occur.
