Kumar, N. Planken, P.C.M. Tanaka, D. Kajikawa, K. Faculty Applied Sciences Department IST/Imaging Science and Technology Date 2012-02-02 Abstract Emission of terahertz radiation is observed when surface plasmons are excited on a thin film of gold, in the Kretschmann geometry. When a hemicyanine-terminated alkanethiol self-assembled monolayer of thickness 1.2 nm is deposited on the gold film, stronger terahertz emission is observed. Our experimental results confirm that enhanced terahertz emission is possible from planar gold surfaces when surface plasmons are excited.
