Plasmon-polaritons Along the Asymmetric Hyperbolic Metamaterial

Background and Objectives: Plasmon-polaritons along a surface of bulk hyperbolic metamaterial and along a slab of such metamaterial with an arbitrary orientation of the crystallographic axis are considered (the axis in the polarization plane is an arbitrary angle with the direction of propagation). We use the rigorous approach based on Maxwell’s equations. The parameters of the hyperbolic metamaterial in the form of the effective dielectric constant tensor are determined by homogenization.
