TL;DR: The dispersion relations are solved for waves guided by a thin, lossy metal film surrounded by media of dielectric constant and both radiative waves can be interpreted as spatial transients, which could have physical significance near a transverse plane.

TL;DR: An imaging photopolarimeter aboard Pioneer 11, including a 2.5-centimeter telescope, was used for 2 weeks continuously in August and September 1979 for imaging, photometry, and polarimetry observations of Saturn, its rings, and Titan.

TL;DR: Surface-plasmon polaritons guided by thin, lossy metallic films bounded by dissimilar dielectric media are investigated, and new solutions to the dispersion relation are found, representing waves that are leaky in one of the dielectrics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze codirectional and counter-propagating second harmonic generation, degenerate four-wave mixing, and intensity-dependent refractive index phenomena based on surface plasmon polaritons guided by thin metal films.

TL;DR: Analysis, fabrication, and characterization of variable groove depth planar waveguide grating couplers are presented and a formula is derived to describe the grating groove depth variation necessary to produce an outcoupled beam of arbitrary profile.
