We discuss asymmetric reflectance in surface plasmon Bragg gratings incorporating optical gain, referred to as
active asymmetric surface plasmon Bragg gratings. It is shown that balanced modulation of index and gain/loss with
quarter pitch spatial shift causes unidirectional coupling between contra-propagating modes in long-range surface
plasmon polariton Bragg gratings. Such gratings operate at the breaking threshold of parity-time symmetry
(exceptional point). Two active asymmetric surface plasmon Bragg gratings designs are proposed and their
performance is examined through modal and transfer matrix method computations.
