Fiber-optic surface-plasmon resonance for the determination of thickness and optical constants of thin metal films

Abstract

We demonstrate that the thickness and the dielectric constants of thin gold films deposited on the surface of a fiber core can be quantitatively determined as a single set of solutions by the simple measurement of the fiber-optic surface-plasmon resonance responses. This method is capable of directly characterizing metal films with curved surfaces: this is very hard to perform by use of the conventional optical techniques of reflectometry and ellipsometry. The theoretical errors for the experimental fiber are estimated to be within d ± 2%, ∊r ± 1%, and ∊i ± 15%.
