Propagation length of surface plasmons in a metal film with roughness

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The propagation of laser-excited surface plasmons along a gold film with surface roughness is directly observed via scattered light. The attenuation length of surface plasmons in a broad wavelength interval is calculated for smooth gold and silver films. The surface roughness, which was characterized with an AFM, introduces corrections to the attenuation length, angular dependence of the surface plasmon resonance, and the effective dielectric constant of the metal film. These corrections are also taken into account and discussed.
