Abstract
We study the effects of spatial dispersion on the conditions for having electromagnetic normal modes at a single interface and in the presence of two interfaces. The first result has bearing on the dispersion of surface modes, like surface plasmons, and the second result on the van der Waals and Casimir force between two half-spaces.
