Description: E-field of a surface plasmon polariton (actually in this regime it's more like a Sommerfeld Zenneck wave), at the silver-air interface. The animation shows how the E-field varies over an optical cycle. The free-space wavelength is 10 microns, so the permittivity of silver is (-2712 + 1408i). The picture is 0.6 * 10 microns across horizontally.
