Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We demonstrate that transient optical gratings generated by femtosecond near-infrared pulses can be utilized to couple visible light into surface plasmon polaritons on thin unstructured gold films. Pump-probe experiments reveal a 1.0 ps launch window.
