Abstract
This chapter describes the operation points, i.e., the necessary parameters to excite the surface plasmon for the common transition metals (Cr, Co, Fe, Mo, Ni, Nb, Ta, Ti, W, V, and Zr). Aspects like incident angle range, wavelength range, metal thickness, optical substrate, nanoparticle size, dynamic range, responsivity, SPR depth, intensity and line broadening are present.
