  • Abstract
    To analyse waveguiding characteristics of SiO2 cover layer upon Kretschman structure a relevant numerical modelling by the method of single expression is performed. Plasmonic and waveguiding properties of the structure are distinguished relying on optical field distributions for different thickness of the cover layer. Applications of thin SiO2 layer of the Kretschman structure as a protective cover and a low-loss waveguide are discussed.
