Abstract
The propagation of long-range plasmons on a rippled metal film embedde d in an insulator is studied. It is shown that the ripple of the film leads to the appearance of additional dissipative losses of these plas mons. It is established that these additional losses are caused by res onant coupling between long-range and short-range plasmons produced by the ripple of the film. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
