Thin Films and Multilayers 185
intense and sharp signal has outstanding applications for example
in biosensing [47].
Another interesting characteristic that systems with magneto-
plasmonic properties offer is the possibility of actually probing
the electromagnetic field distribution inside the metal trilayer with
a very high spatial resolution. The SPP-generated electromagnetic
fields can be probed by positioning a ferromagnetic thin film
in different positions within the multilayer and measuring the
magneto-optical response [23] since it is directly proportional to the
intensity of the electromagnetic ...
