Abstract
Polarization effects in surface plasmon polaritonic crystals (two-dimensional photonic crystals on a metal surface) are observed in the optical transmission of metallic nanostructures and the directional switching between line-defect waveguides. This new effect can be regarded as a polarization-domain analog of the spectral superprism effect in photonic crystals.
