Propagation, Scattering and Amplification of Surface Plasmons in Thin Silver Films

Plasmons, i.e. collective oscillations of conduction electrons, have a strong influence on the optical properties of metal micro- and nanostructures and are of great interest for novel photonic devices. Here, plasmons on metal-dielectric interfaces are investigated using near-field optical microscop...
