Inverse Faraday effect in plasmonic heterostructures
نویسندگان
چکیده
The phenomenon of the surface plasmon assisted electromagnetic field concentration in the vicinity of the metal/dielectric interface of a periodically perforated with subwavelength holes arrays plasmonic structure is considered. An increase of the local stationary magnetic field appearing due to the inverse Faraday effect while the heterostructure is illuminated by circularly polarized light is demonstrated. The stationary magnetic field induced is more than an order of magnitude larger than the one for a uniform non-plasmonic film which implies a possibility for local control of the magnetization.

Magneto-optical response in bimetallic metamaterials
We demonstrate resonant Faraday polarization rotation in plasmonic arrays of bimetallic nanoring resonators consisting of Au and Ni sections. This metamaterial design allows to optimize the trade-off between the enhancement of magneto-optical effects and plasmonic dissipation. Nickel sections corresponding to as little as ∼ 6% of the total surface of the metamaterial result in magneto-optically...
متن کاملFaraday effect in hybrid magneto-plasmonic photonic crystals.
We present a theoretical study of the Faraday effect in hybrid magneto-plasmonic crystals that consist of Au-Co-Au perforated membranes with a periodic array of sub-wavelength holes. We show that in these hybrid systems the interplay between the extraordinary optical transmission and the magneto-optical activity leads to a resonant enhancement of the Faraday rotation, as compared to purely ferr...
متن کاملMagnetized spiral chains of plasmonic ellipsoids for one-way optical waveguides.
When a linear chain of plasmonic nanoparticles is subject to longitudinal magnetic field, it exhibits optical Faraday rotation. If the magnetized nanoparticles are plasmonic ellipsoids arranged as a spiral chain, the interplay between the Faraday rotation and the geometrical spiral rotation (structural chirality) can strongly enhance nonreciprocity. This interplay forms a waveguide that permits...
متن کاملDissimilar permittivity and permeability sensitivities in nonlinear plasmons and spoof plasmons.
We show that employing localized surface plasmon resonators to probe environmental media will always lead to dissimilar optical sensitivities to permittivity and permeability. We find that while the permittivity sensitivities of diverse plasmonic structures display a geometry-independent universal scaling relation, the permeability sensitivities are highly dependent on the metals' geometries an...
