Abstract

The excitation of surface plasmon-polariton (SPP) waves was delineated for an interface of a metal and an obliquely mounted uniaxially chiral, bianisotropic material with optic axis making an arbitrary angle with the interface plane. Such a material can be fabricated as a parallel assembly of hellixes with the axis of the hellixes making an arbitrary tilt angle with the metallic substrate. The canonical boundary-value problem as well as the two prism-coupled configurations were investigated. The direction of propagation of SPP waves was restricted to be in the morphologically significant plane of the bianisotropic material that contains titled hellixes. It was found that the chirality parameter of the bianisotropic material has to have a magnitude smaller than a threshold in order for SPP waves to exist for all tilt angles. Also, the SPP wave can be excited in both prism-coupled configurations only by p-polarized plane waves.
