The fact that for different SU-8 thicknesses the strongest signals are observed at different points (front edge for 60 nm SU-8 region as in Fig. 2 and back edge for 550 nm SU-8 region as in Fig. 4) shows that the height of the polymer layer (refractive index step) is a crucial parameter in the reflection/scattering properties of SPs [2].
