Abstract
We present a detailed investigation of a photorefractive surface plasmon polariton system capable of coupling energy between two predefined surface plasmon modes with efficiencies up to 25%. We have investigated the dependence of the diffraction efficiency on the energy, the initial and final wavevectors of the surface plasmon modes, and the cell parameters. We have also developed numerical simulations of the system based upon the defect-free
