35. This can be realized by periodic altering of different metal (or metal alloys) layers. In principal, fabrication of such structures may be based upon different methods, including electron/ion beam milling, electron/x-ray lithography, etc. Indeed, we consider modulation of dielectric permittivity only due to simplicity. The nature of periodicity does not influence the qualitative picture of described resonance effects.

39. For the in-plane diffraction only this polarization is responsible for the SPP excitation. Thus, one can easily examine the solution for an arbitrary polarized incident wave by expanding it to s (TE) and p components. Owing to the fact that diffraction of these components is independent, some relevant problems can be considered separately. Evidently, diffraction of the s component can be examined by means of the ordinary perturbation theory for the small permittivity modulation and does not lead to anomalous transparency in the s channel.
