In the range of frequencies where the periodic medium shows hyperbolic space dispersion, hybridization of surface waves (dyakonons) occurs. At low to moderate frequencies, dyakonons enable tighter confinement near the interface in comparison with pure SPPs. On the other hand, a distinct regime governs dispersion of dyakonons at higher frequencies. <br /> <br /> Full Text: <a class="file" href="/PLP/index.php/letters/article/view/5-23/283" target="_parent">PDF</a> <br /> <br /> <strong>References</strong> <ol> <li>Z.
