Thickness dependent enhancement of the polar Kerr rotation in Co magnetoplasmonic nanostructures

Large surface plasmon polariton assisted enhancement of the magneto-optical activity has been observed in the past, through spectral measurements of the polar Kerr rotation in Co hexagonal antidot arrays. Here, we report a strong thickness dependence, which is unexpected given that the Kerr effect i...
