    Abstract

    An experimental method has been proposed to study the dispersion properties of optical surface and waveguide modes in planar structures. An experimental setup involves a microscope with a high numerical aperture objective and a hemispherical solid immersion lens made of zinc selenide in contact with the sample surface. The reflection from the sample is detected in the back focal plane of the system. Such a configuration makes it possible to study strongly localized states with an effective refractive index up to 2.25 in the visible and near infrared spectral ranges. For a thin silicon layer deposited on a glass substrate, the possibility of visualization of isofrequency contrours with polarization resolution and the reconstruction of dispersion of waveguide modes depending on the direction of their propagation has been demonstrated.
