On widening the angular existence domain for Dyakonov surface waves using the Pockels effect

The propagation of Dyakonov surface waves (DSWs) at the planar interface between an isotropic material and a linear electro-optic birefringent material can be dynamically controlled using the Pockels effect. The range of directions for DSW propagation has been previously found to be rather narrow. By careful choice of various parameters, this range of directions can be increased by more than an order of magnitude.

Electrical control of surface-wave propagation at the planar interface of a linear electro-optic materials and an isotropic dielectric material

Surface waves can propagate on the planar interface of a linear electro-optic (EO) material and an isotropic dielectric material, for restricted ranges of the orientation angles of the EO material and the refractive index of the isotropic material. These ranges can be controlled by the application of a dc electric field, and depend on both the magnitude and the direction of the dc field. Thus, surface-wave propagation can be electrically controlled by exploiting the Pockels effect.
