Abstract
Plasmons are simply density waves of electrons, shaped when light hits the surface of a metal under particular conditions. These waves are produced at optical frequencies, very small and rapid waves; as a result they can in theory encode plenty of information. Surface Plasmon resonance (SPR) has become a significant optical tool for identifying a selection of specific binding interactions such as DNA. In this paper we will show the results of simulation for the angular excitation spectra of surface Plasmon for various metal and oxide thicknesses. In addition, we will illustrate multiple angles surface Plasmon resonance data for different wavelengths.
