Ultimate Limit for Optical Losses in Gold, Revealed by Quantitative Near-Field Microscopy

Sergejs Boroviks

We report thorough measurements of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) running along nearly perfect air-gold interfaces formed by atomically flat surfaces of chemically synthesized gold monocrystals. By means of amplitude-and phase-resolved near-field micros ...
