Abstract

The spontaneous emission of weak magnetic dipoles located in the vicinity of a plasmonic metal is analyzed theoretically and studied experimentally using Eu3+ ions in organic matrices as a spectroscopic probe. We show that close distances to metal are preferable for magnetic light enhancement experiments, as magnetic dipoles show weaker quenching than electric dipoles while the efficiencies of emission to surface plasmon polaritons are comparable for the both types of dipoles. The possibility of magnetic emission enhancement with SPPs in simple flat geometry is discussed.
