Outline of Final Research Achievements

The surface plasmon (SP) excitations were examined for the metal and organic thin films with grating structures in detail. The multiple SP excitations combined with the grating-coupled SP excitation and the localized SP excitation due to metal particles were also investigated. Furthermore, transmission SP excitation and long-range SP excitation were also investigated. It was found that the multiple SP combined excitations are useful for the development of high-efficiency organic devices.
