Abstract

A theory of EM wave propagation through magnetic multilayers and superlattices is presented based on the propagation matrix of a magnetic film. By using theP matrix, the transmission and reflection coefficients of layered magnetic media, including: (1)semi-infinite magnetic surfaces, (2) magnetic multilayers, (3) semi-infinite magnetic superlattices are obtained. The numerical results show that the EM modes of a magnetic layer system is excited and manifested as the sharp dips in theS-polarized reflection and the dispersion curves of the magnetic polaritons can be measured by a method similar to the attenuated total reflection (ATR) technique.
