Abstract
We present a quantitative experimental analysis of a surface plasmon polariton (SPP) interferometer relying on elliptical Bragg mirrors. By using a leakage radiation microscope, we observe oscillation fringes with unit visibility at the two interferometer exits. We study the properties of the SPP beam splitter and determine experimentally both the norm and phase of the SPP reflection and transmission coefficients.

Leakage radiation microscopy of surface plasmon polaritons

TL;DR: In this paper, the principle and methodology of leakage radiation microscopy (LRM) applied to surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) is reviewed.
