Abstract
Loss issues are fundamentally crucial for the application of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). In this study the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) of SPPs in a typical Kretschmann configuration is observed and shows an unusually broadened angular response with increased pump intensity. Theoretical models are further developed to verify the results and understand the amplification of SPPs in Fourier space.
