Abstract
We report a spectroscopic Mueller matrix experimental study of a plasmonic photonic crystal consisting of gold hemispheroidal particles (lateral radius \SI{54}{nm}, height \SI{25}{nm}) arranged on a square lattice (lattice constant \SI{210}{nm}) and supported by a glass substrate. Strong polarization coupling is observed for ultraviolet wavelengths and around the surface plasmon resonance for which the off-block-diagonal Mueller matrix elements show pronounced anisotropies. Due to the Rayleigh anomalies, the block-diagonal Mueller matrix elements produce a direct image of the Brillouin Zone~(BZ) boundaries of the lattice and resonances are observed at the M-point in the first and at the X-point in the second BZ. These elements show also the dispersion of the localized surface plasmon resonance.
