Abstract

We report on the first realization of a hyperspectral imaging technique for surface plasmon polaritons on metallic nanostructures. The technique uses a scanning electron beam and allows for simple visualization of light emission from decoupled plasmons, providing information on decay lengths and feature sizes with nanometer resolution.
