Scheme 1.

Scheme 1.

Sample configuration for SPCE of tryptophan. The metallized quartz slide spin coated with PVA-containing NATA was attached to a hemicylindrical quartz prism (the layer thickness is drawn not to the scale). The excited NATA dipoles couple to the surface plasmons, which radiate within the narrow hollow cone at the angle θF. The SPCE radiation is fully p polarized.
