The propagation length of the surface mode is studied both using an eigenmode model and a rigorous time domain solver. The two models show good convergence. Our results demonstrate that by a carefully designed 1D photonic crystal, dielectric surface waves may propagate over several millimeters, even if a Kretschmann-type coupling configuration is used.Engineering, Electrical & ElectronicNanoscience & NanotechnologyOpticsEngineeringScience & Technology - Other Topicsphotonic crystalssurface wavespropagation lengthkretschmann configurationtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
