Figure 2

Magnetically-induced mode asymmetry in the magneto-plasmonic waveguide, as shown in Fig. 1, with t = 100 nm at λ = 800 nm. The solid curves are calculated by the formula (8) and the circles by numerical solutions. (a) The symmetry degree m for the odd (red) and the even (blue) modes versus g. (b) The magnetic field profiles Hy(z) for the points A, B, C and D in a).
