Excitation of Surface Plasmons Using Tilted Planar-Waveguide Bragg Gratings

We present a planar-integrated optical surface plasmon refractometer. The fabricated device operates by grating-matched coupling between a core waveguide mode and a set of hybrid plasmon-dielectric modes of a much wider integrated structure. The constructed device incorporates a 50-nm-thin gold laye...
