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...
