Surface plasmon polariton (SPP) is an electromagnetic field generated between a dielectric and a metal film. The presenter treats SPP as a fluctuation of a macro quantum system and aims to demonstrate the Dynamical Casimir Effect. The Dynamic Casimir Effect is a physical phenomenon in which photon pairs are generated by changing the quantum fluctuation. In this presentation, as the first step of the research, I’ll report about the construction and performance evaluation of the optical system for SPP measurement, the optimal deposition method for silver thin film deposition, and the results of analysis of the change in the state of stationary wave SPP due to altering the refractive index of dielectric materials.
