Plasmonically enhanced transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect

We demonstrate experimentally a plasmonic enhancement of the transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect. The enhanced Kerr effect modulates the transmitted light intensity by a large value of 1.5%, while high transparency of the system is maintained.
