Surface plasmon microscopic sensing with beam profile modulation (2012)
Journal Article
Zhang, B., Pechprasarn, S., & Somekh, M. G. (2012). Surface plasmon microscopic sensing with beam profile modulation. Optics Express, 20(27), https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.20.028039

Surface Plasmon microscopy enables measurement of local refractive index on a far finer scale than prism based systems. An interferometric or confocal system gives the so-called V(z) curve when the sample is scanned axially, which gives a measure of...

Determination of crystallographic orientation of large grain metals with surface acoustic waves (2012)
Journal Article
Li, W., Sharples, S. D., Smith, R. J., Clark, M., & Somekh, M. G. (2012). Determination of crystallographic orientation of large grain metals with surface acoustic waves. Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 132(2), 738-745. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4731226

A previously described laser ultrasonic technique known as spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy (SRAS) can be used to image surface microstructure, using the local surface acoustic wave (SAW) velocity as a contrast mechanism. It is shown here tha... Read More about Determination of crystallographic orientation of large grain metals with surface acoustic waves.

Confocal surface plasmon microscopy with pupil function engineering (2012)
Journal Article
Zhang, B., Pechprasarn, S., Zhang, J., & Somekh, M. G. (2012). Confocal surface plasmon microscopy with pupil function engineering. Optics Express, 20(7), https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.20.007388

Surface Plasmon microscopy can measure local changes of refractive index on the micron scale. Interferometric plasmon imaging delivers quantitative high spatial resolution sensitive to refractive index. In addition the so called V(z) method allows im...
