Abstract:
Resonant magneto-optical properties of subwavelength diffraction gratings with a uniformly magnetized dielectric substrate layer are studied. Special attention is given to the Rayleigh-Wood anomalies. It is found that at excitation frequencies of a surface plasmon the Faraday angle resonance is observed. Opportunities of the influence on magneto-optical effects is shown using nanostructures.

Key words:
Magnetooptics, diffraction grating, resonance.
