(a) Schematic representation of the evanescent field polarization for s- and p-polarized incidence in the Kretschmann configuration. (b) Validation of the angle resolved electromagnetic models of the Kretschmann configuration (without nanoparticles) by comparison with optical spectra obtained from the Fresnel coefficients for p-polarized i.e. TM polarized and s-polarized i.e. TE polarized incidence.
