Fig. 1From: Scattering of partially coherent surface plasmon polariton fields by metallic nanostripe(Color online) Schematic diagram of SPP generation and scattering by a nanostripe in the Kretschmann configuration. The field Ei is an excitation wave, Ep and Er are forward- and backward-going SPPs on the metal-air interface, Es is a field scattered by the nanostripe N into free space, and D is a detector. The coordinate axes and the symbols specifying the system geometry and material properties are indicated in the figureBack to article page
