Abstract: In this study, photocurrents enhanced by the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) excitation were observed in a merocyanine (MC) Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film cell. The excitation of the SPP was carried out by the incidence of a laser beam in the attenuated total reflection (ATR) measurement system. The excitation of the SPP induces the strong absorption of the incident light and large photocurrents in the device.
