Abstract
Surface plasma resonance (SPR) excitation in a Co-based two-dimensional magnetoplasmonic crystal was found to strongly enhance the second-harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency. Large changes in the phase shift between magnetic and nonmagnetic SHG contributions were observed in the transversal Kerr effect as a function of the incidence angle. The activation of a nonlocal quadrupole mechanism of the magnetic SHG due to the SPR excitation was found to lead to an unusual phase behavior in the vicinity of the resonance.
