Résumé
We present an electromagnetic enhancement mechanism for the magneto-optical response of noble metal/ferromagnetic metal multilayer thin films. When such a structure is illuminated in total reflection condition, the resonant coupling of light with the noble metal surface plasmons gives rise to an amplification of the magneto-optically induced component of the light electric field. The experimental results obtained on a 30nm-thick Au/Co/Au model system show that this resonant feature observed in the Kerr rotation and ellipticity corresponds to a strong enhancement of the magneto-optical figure of merit and signal-to-noise ratio.
