Abstract

Emission light due to surface plasmon (SP) excitations has been investigated in Kretschmann configuration of prism/metal thin film/organic dye thin films by means of direct irradiation of a laser beam from air to the films. Emission light through the prism coincided with the resonant conditions of SP excitations in the configuration. It was thought that SPs on the metal surface were excited by luminescence of dye molecules close to the metal surface, and the SPs propagating along the metal surface were converted to the emission light according to the resonant conditions of SPs in the configuration. Intensities and spectra of the SP emission light through the prism strongly depended upon emission angles, nanostructures of dye films, the film thickness and mixture of two kinds of dyes.
