摘要
Existence conditions of backward waves and waves with zero group velocity in insulator-metal-insulator (IMI) structures are obtained and expressions for the group velocity of the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) are derived. We consider the general case when the two insulator half-spaces may be identical or different. The effect of losses on dispersion curves and values of the energy velocity is analyzed. The obtained equations are used for a characterization and a detailed study of backward waves in thin silver film waveguides.
