18. In Eqs. 3 3, the bounded SPP mode is the analogue of the guided mode of the waveguide theory, while the summation represents a continuum of radiation modes of the flat metal-dielectric interface. Because we are concerned by metals with a finite conductivity, all these modes are not orthogonal in the sense of the Poynting vector as is usually the case in waveguide theory with lossless materials, but they obey the unconjugate general form of orthogonality; see A.W. Snyder and J.D. Love, Optical Waveguide Theory (Chapman and Hall, New York, 1983) for more details. That is the reason why EH products (instead of the usual EH* product) are used in Eqs. 4 4.
