In this paper we describe an experimental measurement procedure and automated system for analysis of angle dependent
dispersion associated with dielectric photonic crystals or surface Plasmon polariton dispersion associated with
nanostructured metallo-dielectric surfaces. This fully automated system utilizes a broadband spectroscopic reflectometry
method to acquire polarization resolved data. Angular dispersion is mapped by illuminating a sample with a white light
laser ranging from 450nm to 1800nm. A movable fiber probe then collects the reflected signal. Dips in reflectivity then
correspond to partially coupled Bloch modes. The measurement system was applied to the investigation of Plasmon
dispersion of periodic arrays of metal coated square pyramids SERS sensors. Comparisons are then made to
computational simulations derived using RSOFT DiffractMOD based on Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis (RCWA). Measured experimental dispersion patterns are found to closely match simulation in the exact frame of wavelength
(400nm to 900nm).
