Abstract
Surface plasmon–polariton modes supported by thin metal films surrounded by dissimilar semi-infinite dielectrics are studied. The dispersion of the modes is evaluated, and their characteristics are investigated when the metal film thickness and the superstrate refractive index are varied. Long-range surface plasmon–polaritons are shown to be supported even by highly asymmetric configurations.
