Abstract:

Subject of the study. The influence of sidelobes relative to the central band of the transmission spectrum of an acousto-optical filter on the accuracy of surface plasmon resonance angle determination, in comparison to the case of monochromatic radiation. Aim of the study. To improve the accuracy of the surface plasmon resonance technique when broadband optical illumination is first passed through an acousto-optical tunable filter by reducing the systematic error in resonance angle determination compared to the case of monochromatic radiation. Method. An apodization technique is proposed to suppress the influence of secondary maxima of the acousto-optical tunable filter transmission function with a shape close to the square cardinal sine function due to the tuning of the central wavelength and mathematical post processing. Main results. The systematic error in determining the resonance angle in the surface plasmon resonance method is reduced by a factor of 1.5. Practical significance. Reducing the measurement error of the resonance angle in the surface plasmon resonance method will allow determining the optical constants of dielectric coatings with high accuracy, as well as analysis their depth distribution within thin layer. Achieving high accuracy and resolution will allow non-destructive studies of processes on subwavelength scales in the visible and infrared ranges, such as diffusion and adhesion of thin films of metals and dielectrics, which is important for applied problems in nanotechnology and materials science, as well as for sensor applications in biomedicine.
