Plasmonic Magnetooptic Structures for Visualization of Magnetic Information

Abstract

Optical head with magnetized garnet layer is used to detect presence of thin ferromagnetic layers such as printed text. Mathematical model of the system was created. Incident P-polarized light affected by garnet layer changes its polarization due to Faraday effect. We can detect presence or absence of magnetic information after studying changes in polarization of the reflected light.


Keywords: Magnetoplasmonic, Faraday effect, magnetoplasmonic structure, Magneto-optic plasmon resonance.
