TLDR
In this paper, a surface plasmon polariton (SPP) interferometer relying on elliptical Bragg mirrors was analyzed using a leakage radiation microscope, where oscillation fringes with unit visibility at the two interferometers exits were observed.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.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the principle and methodology of leakage radiation microscopy (LRM) applied to surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) is reviewed. And the authors show that LRM is a versatile optical far-field method allowing direct quantitative imaging and analysis of SPP propagation on thin metal films.
