Abstract
The propagation length of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) is investigated experimentally using a 1D metallic grating fabricated on a higher refractive index substrate (Gallium Phosphide, GaP). The experimentally measured value propagation length of the SPP (LSPP) at 785 nm wavelength is 13.33 ± 0.13 μm, which is close to the theoretical value of the LSPP on an ideal Au-thin film. The SPP resonance observed in far-field measurements confirms the underlying process and the related effects on the LSPP measured by scanning near field optical microscope (SNOM). Far-field measurements shows that LSPP is associated with the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the SPP resonance which in-turn associated with in-plane directional scattering of the SPP.
