    Plasmon polaritons in 1D Cantor-like fractal photonic superlattices containing a left-handed material
    (2011-06) Mejía Salazar, Jorge Ricardo; Porras Montenegro, Nelson; Reyes Gómez, E.; Cavalcanti, S. B; Oliveira, L. E.
    The propagation of light incident upon a 1D photonic superlattice consisting of successive stacking of alternate layers of a right-handed nondispersive material and a metamaterial, arranged to form a Cantor-like fractal, is considered. Plasmon-polariton excitations are thoroughly investigated within the transfer-matrix approach and shown to strongly depend on the Cantor step number N. More specifically, the number of plasmon-polariton bands corresponds to the number 2N− 1 of metamaterial layers within the unit cell.
