This work presents numerical and experimental results of plasmonic Metal-Insulator optical nano-cavities. The systems are composed of Silver as metal, polyvinylpyrrolidone or indium tin oxide or zinc oxide as insulator. The proposed nano-cavities exhibit extraordinary effects as colors changing in function of the incident/view angles, enhancement of the experimental real and imaginary parts of the pseudo dielectric constant, an extraordinary transmission of 50$\%$ and zero reflection for both polarizations at the resonant wavelengths. These results lead to the formation and propagation of surface plasmon polaritons and their hybridization in gap surface plasmons. The concurrence of these effects allow studying the Goos-Hänchen shift by exploiting the very narrow $Δ$ and $Ψ$ ellipsometer parameters. Thank to their optical properties, the proposed nano-cavities could be applied in several fields such tunable color filters, optics, photonics and sensing.
