Surface Plasmon Polaritons at Terahertz Frequencies on Metal and Semiconductor Surfaces

Diploma Thesis from the year 2003 in the subject Electrotechnology, grade: 1.0, RWTH Aachen University (Institut für Halbleitertechnik), language: English, abstract: This thesis presents the first experimental study of the propagation characteristics and field distribution of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) at terahertz (THz) frequencies. A measurement setup has been designed which allows the ge...
