Abstract

We present experimental results on ultralong-range surface plasmon-polaritons, propagating in a thin metal film on a one-dimensional photonic crystal (ID PC) surface over a distance of several millimeters. This propagation length is about two orders of magnitude higher than the one in the ordinary Kretschmann configuration at the same optical frequency. We show that a long-range surface plasmon-polaritons propagation may take place not only in a (quasi-)symmetrical scheme, where a thin metal film is located between two media with (approximately) the same refraction index, but also in a scheme where the thin metal film is located between an appropriate ID PC and an arbitrary (air, water, etc.) medium.
