X Abstract

We investigate theoretically the optical pressure exerted on a dielectric film by the surface plasmon-coupled evanescent fields that are generated in a multilayer system with a thin metal film by a p-polarized plane electromagnetic wave. We show that the evanescent field pressure dissappears by coupling to resonant waveguide modes in the sample film but the pressure can be strongly enhanced by coupling to surface plasmons on the metal film.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
