Our goal is to create plasmons to enhance All Optical Switching (AOS) of the magnetization. We used a finite-element model in order to understand the impact of plasmonic disk-shaped nanoantennas on magneto-optical effects. We first tested our model without an antenna and compare it with analytical solutions .The plasmonic nanoantenna tends to enhance the energy absorption in the layers, especially the magnetic layer, but also induces a field confinement around the antenna. These results sound promising for developing energy-efficient plasmonic magneto-optical devices.
