Popis: This article studies, in the near-field zone, the magneto-optical Faraday effect of metallic multilayers illuminated under the condition of total internal reflection. We present numerical results obtained by the Green’s dyadic technique which depicts the distribution associated with each Cartesian component of the electric field inside, as well as outside, the magneto-optical structure. The Faraday rotation is found to increase significantly around the resonances associated either with plasmons or to interferences inside thin films.
