Abstract
We analyze an inherent nonlinearity of Surface Plasmon Polaritons at the interface of Fermi-Dirac metal plasma, stemming from the depletion of electron density in high-field intensity regions. The derived optical nonlinear coefficients are comparable to the experimental values for metals. We calculate the dispersion relations for the nonlinear propagation of high-intensity Surface Plasmon Polaritons, predicting a nonlinear induced cutoff and vanishing group velocity.
