Abstract :
Multiple surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waves were experimentally observed for the first time at the planar interface of a metal thin film and a chiral sculptured thin film assembled in the Kretschmann configuration. All launched SPP waves had the same frequency but different phase speeds.
