Some interesting experiment phenomena of light patterns that appear in microwave plasma have been investigated. The wavelength of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) at the dielectric-plasma interface as the functions of incident wave frequency and plasma density has been calculated. The comparison of the experiment results with the calculating results has been carried out. By experimentally and theoretically analyzing, the phenomena are considered to be caused by the surface wave of SPPs at the interface between Pyrex wall and plasma.
