description

Controlling surface plasmons is at the heart of plasmonics. Advances in this field are to a large extent triggered by our ability to visualize surface plasmons in their different forms. In this chapter, we provide a review of the different techniques capable of imaging and visualizing surface plasmons. We have divided these techniques in three distinct families: proximal probe techniques, far-field microscopies, and electron imaging. We review here their principal characteristics, advantages, and limitations and illustrate the discussion with images taken from the literature.
