Integral formalism for surface electromagnetic waves in bianisotropic media

An integral approach is presented in the theory of surface electromagnetic waves propagating along the plane interface of bianisotropic non-absorbing media including optically active gyrotropic and bigyrotropic ones. This approach gives a uniform way of obtaining the dispersion equation for surface polaritons for an arbitrary cut section of the bianisotropic crystals and allows us to establish the existence conditions of surface polaritons. An example of application of this approach for the boundary of bianisotropic and isotropic media is given.
