Abstract

Surface plasmon resonance magneto-optical Kerr effect is studied in magneto-plasmonic multilayer as Au (11 nm)/Co (11 nm)/Au (11 nm). Our experimental setup is consists of spectral magneto-optical rotation in Kretschmann-based attenuated total reflection condition as surface plasmon resonance magneto-optical Kerr effect. Based on this new experimental setup, the sample exposed under external magnetic filed at surface plasmon resonance angle. Our results show sufficient surface plasmon resonance magneto-optical Kerr effect in visible region, thanks to the resonant excitation of surface plasmons which is very suitable for miniaturized and controllable magneto-optical imaging systems, memory, and also magneto-optical isolators.
