Multiple surface plasmon excitations in molecular thin films on silver films in the Kretschmann ATR configuration
Emission light through the prism has been investigated from the Kretschmann configuration of the prism/ Ag thin film/ rhodamine-B (RB) LB Film in the resonant excitation of the attenuated total reflection (ATR) measurement. The emission light and the spectra strongly depended upon the emission angles where the light was observed. The emission properties corresponded to the dispersion property of the resonant excitations of surface plasmons (SPs) in the ATR configuration. It was concluded that the emission light was caused by multiple excitations of SPs in the AFR configuration. It is thought that the phenomenon will be used as a new sensing device.
