TL;DR: This work calculates the photonic band structure for electromagnetic waves of E and H polarization propagating in a system consisting of an infinite array of identical, infinitely long, parallel, metal cylinders of circular cross section, embedded in vacuum, whose intersection with a perpendicular plane forms a simple square or triangular lattice.

TL;DR: In this article, the dispersion of transverse elastic waves both perpendicular and parallel to the laminations of infinite and semi-infinite periodically layered media is studied and the displacement fields and dispersion relations for such waves are obtained analytically, and the latter are solved numerically to yield the corresponding dispersion curves.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an approach that allows calculating photonic band structures of electromagnetic waves propagating in periodic systems containing dispersive and highly absorptive materials characterized by a dielectric function, which is frequency dependent and has a non-negligible imaginary part.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the properties of a semi-infinite non-local dielectric to assess the effect of spatial dispersion on the reflectivity of the material and on properties of surface polaritons.

TL;DR: The efficiency with which a surface polariton at a metal-dielectric interface is excited when a p-polarized volume electromagnetic wave is incident upon the end face of the metal- dielectric system that is normal to the interface is calculated.
