Radiative intersubband plasmon polaritons in multiple quantum well structur
es, with arbitrary number of quantum wells, are discussed theoretically. Th
e dispersion relations are derived modeling multiple quantum well structure
by uniform uniaxial effective medium and using a full set of the Maxwell e
quations for macroscopic (local) electromagnetic fields. Numerical calculat
ions are performed for a "GaAs-GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum well-air" struc
ture corresponding to a typical total internal reflection geometry. Manifes
tation of these modes in total internal reflection spectra is also consider
