Abstract
A phenomenological explanation is made of different types of resonances in the reflectivity curves of a prism coupler in the region of surface plasmon excitation. The approach is based on the poles and zeros of the scattering operator and demonstrates that the existence of peaks instead of dips is natural and is determined by the positions of the pole and the zero in the complex plane.
