Popis: In this work we develop the concept of miniature Otto configuration. The distinctive feature of the proposed prism configuration is an operation for normal angle of incidence. Polymer microprisms with size of several tens of microns were fabricated by two-photon laser lithography on a surface of one-dimensional photonic crystal. The performance of the prisms was studied in the case of the Bloch surface waves excitation. Design of the prism and its optimal geometrical parameters were obtained from results of calculations. Bloch surface waves excitation with the microprisms was observed by the leakage radiation microscopy. The dependence of coupling efficiency on the angle of incidence was studied. Proposed prism configuration is easily compatible with fibers and is very appealing alternative to diffraction grating coupling for future applications.
