Abstract

This paper presents a canonical boundary value problem to understand the behavior of electromagnetic surface waves propagated on the planar interface of rugate filter and hyperbolic material. The electromagnetic surface waves are generated on the planar interface of two different materials. The hyperbolic materials constructed by making a dyadic negative in columnar thin films. Multiple electromagnetic surface waves were investigated by varying phase of rugate filter form 0 to 180° and wavelength of incident light from 400 to 700 nm. Material’s manufacturing fault is also introduced by adding 0.001 i in refractive index of hyperbolic medium.Propagation of multiple electromagnetic waves were observed on the planar interface of rugate filter and hyperbolic material. In order to verify the existence of surface electromagnetic waves at the interface of hyperbolic medium and rugate filter, electric and, magnetic fields are plotted for different material specifications.
