摘要：

We show that a stack of metal-dielectric nanolayers, in addition to the long- and short-range plasmon polaritons, guides also an entire family of modes strongly confined within the multilayer-the bulk plasmon polariton modes. We propose a classification scheme that reflects specific properties of these modes. We report experimental verification of the bulk modes by measuring modal indices in a structure made of three pairs of silica (similar to 29 nm)/gold (similar to 25 nm) layers.
