“…The optical field of the SPs decays exponentially on both sides of the dielectric/metal interface. Consequently, the SPR phenomenon [ 4 , 9 ] related to the generation of the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and propagation of the surface plasmon wave (SPW) along the dielectric/metal interface, is accompanied by a drop in the reflected intensity [ 4 ], or by a phase change [ 10 , 11 ], and thus it is attractive to sensing in various fields of interest [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ], especially in biosensing [ 4 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. To these measurements, performed in angular or spectral domain, correspond angular or wavelength interrogations.…”
