Abstract :
We demonstrate dispersion control of near-infrared surface plasmon polariton by tuning the filling fraction of a multilayer metallo-dielectric hyperbolic metamaterial. We show that effective medium approximation accurately provides the dispersion behavior for a structure with only 2.5 periods.
