Abstract
It is demonstrated how nonlinear surface modes at the boundary of a cy lindrical electronic medium are coupled to external constant or time-v arying electric fields in the bounding dielectric. Exact equations gov erning the interaction are obtained and investigated numerically. It i s found that the external field can drive only certain surface modes, in spite of the fact that all the modes are strongly coupled.
