description

When a transparent layer of sufficient thickness is suitably coated on both sides with metal, the structure supports one-dimensionally bound optical modes which propagate in two dimensions but which can be detected externally in a very simple manner. We show that this configuration can be used to determine the optical constants of the layer.
