We studied the response of a nano-structured material to an IR electromagnetic excitation. For a given geometry, this response is dictated by the dielectric function to which phonons and free carriers contribute. In case of defect-free semiconductors the phonon response is the dominant term; however when we consider doped semi-conductors the plasmon response plays a major role. In both case, the permittivity functions can be negative with small losses which permits a resonant coupling between the surface modes and the electromagnetic excitation. Our work focuses on the development of experimental tools to analyze both SPP and SPhP. This study was conducted in the far-field regime to see a collective response and in the near-field regime to ...
