Abstract:

Calculations based on the analysis of experimental data allow us to estimate a period of a two-dimensional diffraction grating made of opal globules and to make assumptions about possible directions of surface plasmon-polaritons propagation in metal-dielectric hybrid plasmon-photonic crystals.
