16. SP dispersion on a grating can also be numerically calculated by finding the poles of the scattering matrix in the frequency-wave-vector plane [6,7].
17. Along with SP scattering into light, SP can be scattered by a surface defect into SP propagating in another direction, in other words, reflected [5,8].
