The efficiency of excitation of surface plasmons upon noncollinear light scattering from a metal diffraction grating is studied. It is shown that this efficiency strongly depends on the grating profile and the azimuthal angle of rotation. The relation between the spatial configuration of the electromagnetic field near the grating-vacuum interface and the possibility of excitation of plasmons is found. Taking into account different conditions for plasmon excitation, the peculiarities of experimental angular dependences of specular reflection are explained.
