Abstract
Surface polaritons are macroscopic surface excitations. The experimental techniques of Raman scattering, inelastic electron scattering, and grating coupling to surface polaritons and relevant experiments are reviewed. Special emphasis is put on the method of attenuated total reflection. The following experimental results are reviewed: (a) phonon surface polaritons, e. g., anharmonic phonon structure and anisotropy; (b) surface plasmon-phonon interaction on semiconductors; (c) evaluation of optical constants of metals and semiconductors in the fundamental absorption region from “surface polariton spectroscopy;” (d) spatial propagation of surface polaritons. Some surface physics aspects of experimental work on surface polaritons are pointed out.
