Dyakonov waves generation at uniaxial chiral-plasma interface

Abstract

Numerical analysis of Dyakonov waves generation has been carried out at uniaxial chiral-plasma planar interface. The extended electromagnetic wave theory is utilized, and an impedance boundary conditions approach is employed to obtain characteristics equation. Effective mode index and attenuation under the different values of collisional frequency, plasma frequency and chirality in the THz frequency range for three cases for uniaxial chiral media are discussed. These results can be used in the field of photonics and integrated optics to fabricate nanophotonic devices in the THz frequency range.
