Radiative decay engineering 5: metal-enhanced fluorescence and plasmon emission. (2005, background): “Depending on the metal and wavelength the migration distances can be substantial, up to 10 lm for silver for 1500-nm light and up to 500 lm for aluminum for 500-nm light [143,144].”
Plasmonics: Fundamentals and Applications (2007, background): “…lengths of the lowest-order 122 Plasmon Waveguides quasi-TM (i.e., the mode that is of TM polarization in the symmetry plane) leaky mode are in good agreement with the experimental results obtained by Lamprecht and colleagues [Lamprecht et al., 2001] when the shielding layer is taken into account.”
Efficient unidirectional nanoslit couplers for surface plasmons (2007, background): “In established SPP sources (using prism[3, 4], grating[5] or nanodefect[6] coupling) incident light is a source of noise for the SPP, unless the illumination occurs away from the region of interest, increasing the system size and weakening the SPP intensity.”
