Surface Plasmon on metallic nano-structures has been studied by Electron Beam Induced Light Emission method. A focused electron beam in a transmission electron microscope can excite a surface plasmon polariton (SPP) at any position on a metallic nano-structure as a point source. The excited SPP is converted into light via nano-structures, and the emission intensity depends on beam position, photon energy, and emission angle.
