摘要: The absorbance, reflectance, and transmittance of a linearly polarized, obliquely incident plane wave were calculated for the planar interface metal sculptured nematic thin film (SNTF) in Kretschmann configuration, vector that being arbitrarily oriented with respect to morphologically significant SNTF. permittivity profile chosen SNTF was supposed have been during physical vapor deposition by varying incidence angle sinusoidally about mean value. Regardless orientation vector, multiple surface-plasmon-polariton (SPP) trains or waves same color but different phase speeds guided metal/SNTF can be excited.
