In this paper, we investigated the features of plasmon-polaritons excited at the interface of a magnetoelectric hyperbolic metamaterial and a dielectric for the case when the optical axis is arbitrary oriented under the normal to the boundary. Expressions are obtained for the complex electric and magnetic vectors as well as for the decay constants of the fields on both sides of the interface. The possibility is shown and the conditions are determined for localization of plasmon-polariton at the boundary of metamaterial of different types. It is shown that the wave vector of plasmon-polariton has the component oriented perpendicular to the boundary. It is established that for metamaterials of different types changing the orientation of the optical axis one can realize the conditions when the phase velocity of plasmon-polariton is directed from the boundary inside a metamaterial or a dielectric.

t is shown that the inverse Faraday effect appears in the case of surface plasmon polariton propagation near a metal-paramagnetic interface. The inverse Faraday effect in nanostructured periodically perforated metaldielectric films increases because of the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons. In this case, a stationary magnetic field is amplified by more than an order of magnitude compared to the case of a smooth paramagnetic film. The distribution of an electromagnetic field is sensitive to the wavelength and the angle of incidence of light, which allows one to efficiently control the local magnetization arising due to the inverse Faraday effect.

We review the properties of hyperbolic metamaterials and show that they are promising candidates as substrates for nanoimaging, nanosensing, fluorescence engineering, and controlling thermal emission. Hyperbolic metamaterials can support unique bulk modes, tunable surface plasmon polaritons, and surface hyperbolic states (Dyakonov plasmons) that can be used for a variety of applications. We compare the effective medium predictions with practical realizations of hyperbolic metamaterials to show their potential for radiative decay engineering, bioimaging, subsurface sensing, metaplasmonics, and super-Planckian thermal emission.

AbstractThis article presents the architecture of optical microring resonator based on surface plasmon polaritons using different profile materials like silicon (Si), silver (Ag) and gold (Au). It is observed that 3.53e-005 w/m, 6.92e-005 w/m, 7.05e-005 w/m received optical powers are achieved in silicon (Si), silver (Ag) and gold (Au) profile materials, respectively, of optical microring resonator at 0.1 w/m minimum input transmission power for 1.55 μm input transmission wavelength. The result shows that the silicon profile is best for designing the optical microring resonator in terms of received optical power.
