(Color online) Simulation of SPP creation and nanoscattering, with a a standing wave pattern between the excitation point and the nanostripe, and b radiation into the far zone in air beyond the nanostripe. The nanostripe is located at the distance of 4 μm from the SPP excitation point. The (free-space) wavelength is λ=633 nm. The spatial scales and color schemes in a and b are different to demonstrate the weak far-field scattering
