Abstract :
TM-polarized surface plasma modes on a thin metallic cylindrical shell embedded in dielectric media are investigated. The dispersion characteristics of both bound modes and leaky waves are obtained for two sets of material parameters, the first corresponding to an optical fiber in which the metallic shell occupies a region between the core and the cladding and the second corresponding to a metal coated cylindrical rod in vacuum
