Propagation of surface plasmon polaritons on the boundary of a metal and a gain medium (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We show that surface plasmon polariton propagation on a metal surface adjacent to a gain medium can compensate for the metallic loss, thereby increasing the propagation length. Rigorous and numerical finite element studies of various interface geomet... Read More about Propagation of surface plasmon polaritons on the boundary of a metal and a gain medium.
