Extraordinary localization of TE-waves at the graphene layer

arXiv:1307.8288 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.89.035406

Abstract

The propagation of electromagnetic waves along the surface of a nonlinear dielectric covered by a graphene layer is investigated. The main result is that such a surface can support and stabilize nonlinear transverse electric (TE) plasmon polaritons. We demonstrated that these nonlinear TE modes have a subwavelength localization in the direction perpendicular to the surface, with the intensity much higher than that of the incident wave which excites the polariton.
