5 Solution
In the Kretschmann configuration the incident light couples
to the surface plasmon polaris through the metal film вы
The
not through the air дар as in the Otto configuration
coupling strength is proportional to the overlapping integral
between the field of incident and the tail of the SPP
wave

penetrating inside the metal and inside the prism

The penetration
depth of SPP inside the metal almost does not depend on
the frequency and we can express the penetration depth as

Данн пр
We could expect that the optimal coupling could be achieve
with the same thickness
of metal film for different wavelengths
of the incident wave

Now let's discuss the Otto configuration

 The optimal coupling regime is achieved when the чате Of the
radiation losses is exactly equal to the rate of the absorption

р Ра
The radiation losses caused by the tunneling of the SPP inside
the prism the absorption rate is determined by the properties

of metal

We can note that the angle of incidence depends on the

also

frequency because the permittivity оу

the metal depends on
the frequency too
Therefore we need to precisely control the air
дар
thickness
however we must
always take into account the Ecw dependence

in themetal which already limits от possibilities in

choosing the frequency range

Thus the region of optimal coupling on the reflectance mapfor

the Kretschmann configuration is much larger

(4) Write a program that computes the reflectance spectra in Otto/Kretschmann
configuration (see Fig.1 of the "Problems on Plasmonics. Task III statement".
Analyze the behavior of the complex reflection coefficient (it’s absolute value and
phase) for a Drude metal with/without losses.
As a reference, I will use the article [1].
Using the S-matrix method, we are interested in plotting the coefficient |S21 |2 as a function of the
angle of incidence: |S21 |2 (θ).
Let’s write S21 as
r1,2 + r2,3 e2ik2,x d
S21 = , (1)
1 + r1,2 r2,3 e2ik2,x d
where
ε2 k1,x − ε1 k2,x
r1,2 = , (2)
ε2 k1,x + ε1 k2,x
ε3 k2,x − ε2 k3,x
r2,3 = , (3)
ε3 k2,x + ε2 k3,x

are the Fresnel coefficients for p-polarization for a three-layer structure.

Now let’s write the ki,x as

kj,x = kj cos θiinc = nj k0 cos θjinc , for j = 1, 2, 3; (4)

ω
k0 = . (5)
c
Here j defines the layer number, nj is the refractive index in the j-th layer, respectively.
And also we need to define θ2 and θ3 . We can do it in the form
r 
ε1 inc
θ2 = arcsin sin θ1 , (6)
ε2
r 
ε2 inc
θ3 = arcsin sin θ2 . (7)
ε3

Now let’s define the properties of the materials. ε1 is used as the prism material, ε1 = 3.6168 at
λ0 = 546.1 nm, the thickness of the gold film let’s set equal to d = 531 nm.
Thus

ε1 = 3.6168, ε2 = 1, ε3 = −10.91 + i0.83. (8)

The graph obtained using Wolfram Mathematica is shown below. The graph is built with the aim
of checking the coincidence of the results with the results, obtained by the authors in the article.
