Abstract
A theory of the magnetooptical scattering of light by a near-field linear probe parallel to the surface of a magnet is presented. The probe is modeled by a cylindrical nanowire supporting long-lived surface plasmons. The scattering of light is considered in the longitudinal magnetooptical Kerr effect geometry (with magnetization parallel to the sample surface and the plane of light incidence). The resonant interaction of the probe + image system is taken into account in the self-consistent approximation of the multiple scattering theory, while the magnetooptical interaction is described in the linear approximation with respect to magnetization. Polarization characteristics of the scattered light and the magnetooptical modulation of light intensity, which are resonantly enhanced by the surface plasmons, have been studied.
