Multiple p- and s-polarized compound surface plasmon-polariton (SPP) waves ata fixed frequency can be guided by a structure consisting of a metal layersandwiched between a homogeneous isotropic dielectric (HID) material and aperiodic multilayered isotropic dielectric (PMLID) material. For any thicknessof the metal layer, at least one compound SPP wave must exist. It possesses thep-polarization state, is strongly bound to the metal/HID interface when themetal thickness is large but to both metal/dielectric interfaces when the metalthickness is small. When the metal layer vanishes, this compound SPP wavetransmutes into a Tamm wave. Additional compound SPP waves exist, depending onthe thickness of the metal layer, the relative permittivity of the HIDmaterial, and the period and the composition of the PMLID material. Some ofthese are p polarized, the others being s polarized. All of them differ inphase speed, attenuation rate, and field profile, even though all are excitableat the same frequency. The multiplicity and the dependence of the number ofcompound SPP waves on the relative permittivity of the HID material when themetal layer is thin could be useful for optical sensing applications.
