Surface Plasmons in Silver Films--A Novel Undergraduate Experiment

Simon, H. J.; And Others

American Journal of Physics, 43, 7, 630-636, Jul 75

Describes an experiment in which a 500-A-thick silver film is evaporated on the hypotenuse face of a right glass prism. The surface plasmon mode in the film is excited with a He-Ne laser. The dispersion relation for the surface plasmon and the reflectivity due to the excitation of this mode are calculated. (Author/MLH)
