Focusing of surface phonon-polaritons along conical and wedge polar nanostructures

We analyze Surface Phonon Polariton propagation and focusing with conical and wedge dielectric structures. We develop explicit expressions for the dispersion relations in each structure and provide detailed analysis for glass-air geometries.

Fresnel-like formulas for the reflection and transmission of surface phonon-polaritons at a dielectric interface

We develop a formalism and derive explicit expressions for the reflectivity and transmissivity of Surface Phonon Polaritons generated at the dielectric interfaces.
