Abstract
Measurements are presented of the optical constants of a thin gold film over primarily the visible region of the spectrum using the surface plasmon-polariton resonance condition in the attenuated total-reflection configuration. Using this technique precise results are obtained and these are compared with those found using other experimental methods and also with the classical free-electron model.Keywords
