Surface plasmon induced spot and line formation at interfaces of ITO coated LiNbO3 slabs and gigantic nonlinearity

Abstract Remarkable spots and lines were clearly observed at the two interfaces of indium-tin-oxide coated Z-cut Fe-doped lithium noibate plates under illumination by milliwatt continuous-wave laser light; this occurred because of the visible surface plasmons (SPs) supported by the promising non-met...
