The experimental techniques of attenuated total reflection (ATR) and grating coupling were originally employed
separately as probes for polaritons. The combined technique of these methods into a single probe is a very versatile tool
for probing elementary surface excitations. A theoretical investigation of this single probe for surface polaritons, ATRgrating
coupling, is undertaken. The emphasis is on the calculations of first-order diffuse reflectivities, which arise due
to the presence of a classical grating. More specifically, the ATR set-up in the Otto configuration is considered and for
ease of presentation of the results, a classical grating is thought to be deposited on only one interface of a surface-active
thin-film specimen. The discussion highlights the advantages the combined technique has over either of the two methods
when each is employed on its own. |
