We present a time-resolved photoemission electron microcopy study of propagating electromagnetic modes in the UV spectral regime in SiO2 covered with self-assembled gold nanospheres on a silicon substrate. Comparison with simulations using the finite element method confirms that guided light modes in the SiO2 slab are detected. Furthermore, we show that the gold nanospheres play a key role in the observation of guided modes using PEEM due to their high electron density substantially enhancing the detected photoemission yield. Analytic calculations which take into account the size of the nanospheres and their distribution on the surface show that plasmonic interactions have negligible impact on the light mode properties.
