WINSPALL software for surface plasmon resonance experiments

Posted on Wed 10 March 2010 in Plasmonics • Tagged with electromagnetism, Free Software, photonics, Plasmonics

One needs to fit the reflectivity curves obtained in surface plasmon resonance experiments with theoretical models. A free software (for non commercial use) called Winspall exactly does that.

According to the developers, WINSPALL is a PC based software which computes the reflectivity of optical multilayer systems. It is based on …

Radiation from an oscillating dipole

Posted on Thu 14 January 2010 in Plasmonics • Tagged with electromagnetism, Matlab, Plasmonics

The electric field from an oscillating dipole is given by:, where [tex]\hat{r}[/tex] is the position vector, [tex] \omega [/tex] is the frequency of dipole oscillation, [tex]\textbf{p}[/tex] is the dipole moment. The two terms in the electric field consists of 1) near field (area near …
