Fig. 2. (Color online) (a) The back focal plane image of the luminescence in grating sample A. (b) Phase relation for wave vectors of emissions and SPPs. $k_{0}$ represent the actual direction of the emission light, and $p$ is the grating period. (c) Schematic image of the Fourier plane. The black circle represents the actual view field, which we can observe from the back focal plane.
