Abstract

The interaction of surface plasmons (SP) with surface roughness has been studied by a photoacoustic method and a comparison of the angular resonance halfwidth with the halfwidth of angular ATR and forward scattering indicates that surface roughness of Ag evaporated films contribute equally to scattering of SP into other SP and into photons.
