Identification of Plasmonic Modes in Parabolic Cylinder Geometry by Quasi-Separation of Variables

This paper describes the plasmonic modes in the parabolic cylinder geometry as a theoretical complement to the previous paper (J Phys A 42:185401) that considered the modes in the circular paraboloidal geometry. In order to identify the plasmonic modes in the parabolic cylinder geometry, analytic so...
