| Sumario: | We present in this work our current understanding on magnetoplasmonic structures, that is, systems whose constituents exhibit simultaneously magnetic and plasmonic properties. We analyze both the influence of the plasmon resonance on the magneto-optical properties of the system and the ability of the magnetic field to modulate the plasmon properties. In particular we show how, in magnetoplasmonic systems sustaining localized or propagating surface plasmons, the associated electromagnetic field enhancement gives rise to an enhancement of the magneto-optical activity. On the other hand, we have analyzed the modulation of the propagating surface plasmon polariton wavevector in noble metal/ferromagnet/noble metal trilayers by an external magnetic field. These phenomena can be addressed as new concepts for the development of active plasmonic devices. |
