Characteristics of the thermally excited evanescent waves. (a) Dispersion relationship of AlN (solid line) and the light line (dashed line). The propagating, evanescent, and polariton components are indicated by the solid, dashed, and dotted lines, respectively. (b) Decay characteristics of the EM-LDOS of AlN at a wavelength of 14.5 μm.
