Nanoscale ripple pattern with a period of ≈90 nm were formed on SiO₂ surfaces by low-energy ion beam erosion (E_ion < 2 keV) at oblique ion incidence angles. The pattern was than coated with a gold film of ≈40 nm thikness. A Kretschmann configuration with a SiO₂ prism was used to allow surface plasmon excitation at the gold/air interface. Subsequently the sample was analyzed using a spectroscopic ellipsometer in the range from 370 nm - 1700 nm and angles of incidence (AOI) between 40^∘ - 45^∘. This setup is similar to attenuated-total-internal-reflection readily used for study of surface plasmons. With this setup we were able to unravel a strong dependence of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) frequency and strength on the in-plan orientation of the sample and the AOI. While the SPR is mostly independent of the in-plane orientation at AOI close to 45^∘ a strong frequency shift with rotation is observed at smaller AOI. Similarly the strength of the SPR also changes with the in-plain orientation. In combination at 42^∘ AOI a strong resonance at 860 nm is observed. This resonance vanishes if the sample is rotated by 90^∘.
