Sharp Plasmon-Mediated Resonant Reflection From an Undulated Metal Layer

A close-to-the-theoretically-largest TM resonant reflection of a free-space wave from a free-standing undulated gold layer immersed in a liquid host medium is demonstrated experimentally. It is mediated by the grating-excited long-range plasmon mode propagating along the continuous metal film with p...

Summary:A close-to-the-theoretically-largest TM resonant reflection of a free-space wave from a free-standing undulated gold layer immersed in a liquid host medium is demonstrated experimentally. It is mediated by the grating-excited long-range plasmon mode propagating along the continuous metal film with particularly low loss.
