Transmission of surface plasmon polaritons through atomic-size constrictions

We study the excitation and propagation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) on a micron-sized thin gold stripe. Grating couplers are embedded for both excitation of SPPs and detection after propagation. The experimental setup allows measuring of the decay length of the SPPs on the gold stripe excit...
