摘要

The optical scheme and the principle of operation of an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer for dispersive spectroscopy of surface IR plasmons are discussed. A thin-layer sample deposited on a conducting substrate, which guides surface plasmons, is placed in one of the arms of the interferometer. This makes it possible, by applying a complete Fourier transform to the interferogram, to obtain the spectrum of the complex refractive index of surface plasmons and, therefore, of the complex dielectric permittivity of the sample or the substrate material.
