Measuring the characteristics of radiation scattered by surface plasmon polariton waves and detecting them in the far field is the only efficient method for studying the directivity of propagation, wave vector magnitude, and propagation length of such waves. In the present work, we demonstrate that it is possible to control the properties of surface plasmon polaritons propagating along the surface of metal nanofilms by scattering from nanoobjects, namely, nanogrooves and nanopits, formed in the nanofilms. It is shown that this technique allows the main parameters of surface plasmon polaritons to be measured. (paper)
