Abstract

In this paper, we present a basic model of robust one-way electromagnetic modes at microwave frequencies, which is formed by a semi-infinite gyromagnetic yttrium-iron-garnet with dielectric cladding terminated by a metal plate. It is shown that this system supports not only one-way surface magnetoplasmons (SMPs) but also a one-way regular mode, which is guided by the mechanism of total internal reflection. Like one-way SMPs, the one-way regular mode can be immune to backscattering, and two types of one-way modes together make up a complete dispersion band for the system.
