Surface Modes at Interface between Lossy Gyroelectric and Isotropic Media

摘要

A detailed analysis of surface wave at the interface between gyroelectric and isotropic medium is presented. Two cases including lossless and lossy gyroelectric medium are considered. The conditions for the existence of surface modes in each case are analyzed, showing that the existence is determined by the components of wave vector k_y~2, k_(xi) and k_(xi2). Take gyroelectric medium for an example, the existence interval of surface wave is obtained. Comparison of surface wave in lossy medium and lossless medium is presented.
