摘要
In this paper we discuss a promising method for the fabrication of magnetoplasmonic crystals (MPC) based on the combined ion-beam etching technique. We show that this method allows producing high-quality planar 1D MPC structures consisting of a gold grating formed on top of a garnet-based magnetic dielectric layer. We demonstrate that resonant features of the MPC, which are determined by surface plasmon-polariton (SPP) and waveguide (WG) mode excitations, can be controlled by a proper choice of the MPC period and the stripe width. Transmission spectra of the MPCs were measured in a wide angular and wavelength range, revealing the excitation of SPP and WG modes of the orders up to m = +/- 3. The anomalous transmission is observed at normal incidence in the spectral region where Au/garnet SPPs are excited. High values of the linear magneto-optical intensity effect are observed in transmission through the MPC. The effect is odd with respect to the direction of the SPP propagation at the Au/garnet interface and vanishes at the edges of the Brillouin zones, where counter propagating plasmons degenerate into standing waves.
