... and theoretically presented. The enhanced coherency is due to coherent coupling between resonant cavities obtained by surface standing waves, wherein each cavity supports a localized field that is attributed to coupled surface phonon polaritons. We show that it is possible to obtain a polarized quasimonochromatic...

..., but on the sphere radius as well. The surface modes are shown to enhance the radiation significantly and are attributed to surface phonon polariton modes excited at the interface, and surface modes excited by the mechanism of total internal reflection.

... and at a well-defined direction. A commonly used structure is the grating, in which the excited surface polaritons or surface waves are coupled with propagating waves in air, resulting in coherent emission for p polarization only. One-dimensional photonic crystals can also support surface waves and may...

... of radiative transfer by the excitation of surface polaritons for both polarizations, are observed in the predicted transmittance spectra. The influence of the number of layers on the transmittance is also examined. The results suggest that the enhanced tunneling transmittance by polaritons also depends...
