polariton

The creation of a polariton Bose-Einstein condensate in the solid state provides scientists with a unique opportunity to better understand and possibly exploit the quantum effects that occur in these very special conditions.

By altering the lines, you could also create a pattern that didn't allow the surface plasmon polariton to radiate at all, or allow red colors to radiate vertically, while green colors radiate at 45 degrees.

This slows the light down by about 30 percent, allowing us to choose an angle of incidence and wavelength of light that will generate a surface plasmon polariton.

These lines disrupt the movement of the surface plasmon polariton, causing it to emit light.

To excite a surface plasmon polariton, we must match the speed of light along the surface to the speed of the surface plasmon polariton.

By combing some fairly standard holography techniques along with some fairly standard surface plasmon polariton tricks, the researchers have created holograms that have both a wide viewing angle and good color reproduction.

When this happens, the light is not reflected-it's absorbed into the metal as a surface plasmon polariton.

Having gotten a surface plasmon polariton into the metal, what do we do with it?

The other thing to note is that a fringe pattern is just a bunch of lines that cross each other at various angles-just the sort of thing used to make a surface plasmon polariton radiate.
