Abstract
Polariton electric fields and dispersion relations of some important c omplex-basis superlattices have been derived by means of electromagnet ic theory and the Bloch's theorem. The spatial distribution of the pol ariton electric fields shows an interesting physical picture: the pola ritons are mainly bulk modes as the wavenumber k is small and become t ypical interface modes with very strong peak intensities as k increase s.
