Abstract
A new optical method is proposed for probing transition layers on solid surfaces, which combines the high precision inherent in holographic interferometry and the high sensitivity characteristic of optical microscopy using surface electromagnetic waves. The proposed technique has been numerically modeled for monochromatic radiation in the visible spectral range.
