Abstract
We describe surface plasmon enhancement by near-field interaction with Ag-s cattering centers, By inserting mark trains between two Ag-scattering cente rs, the near-field signals were further enhanced in a super-resolution near -field structure. Observing the enhancement in more detail. it was found th at surface plasmons are generated along the mark trains and are dispersed i n a range of 1 mum along the marks and 40-50 nm normal to the multilayer st ack.
