Brillouin scattering using surface plasmons in a Kretschmann geometry is analysed theoretically. Numerical estimates for scattering by both bulk and surface acoustic modes indicates that the Brillouin signals are enhanced by orders of magnitude when surface plasmon fields are established at the vacuum-metal boundary for the prism-metal film-vacuum sample geometry.
