Comparison
of the geometrical cross sections at of the three OPCM images corresponding to phase delay between the reference and the
diffracted beam (bottom row in Figure 6) in terms of optical contrast. The right-hand side graph
illustrates the optical contrast enhancement due to the effect of the gold NP
resonance at .
