Abstract
In this Letter, we present an original method to extract the optical properties of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) on silver surfaces. A two Young’s slit experiment combined with a leakage radiation microscope has been built. By correlating both imagery and coherence measurements on the same area, we are able to address the evolution of the SPP spatial coherence along its propagation. The proposed method could also be useful to explore the properties of complex plasmonic systems.
