Abstract

It is predicted and confirmed numerically that the nonlinear stationary waves on the surface polariton branch of a thin-film dielectric waveguide are unstable to transverse spatial fluctuations in the dimension parallel to the confining layers. Bounded waves whose peaks are located within the linear thin-film guiding layer show behavior in qualitative agreement with that of earlier studies on the two-dimensional propagation problem.
