We have designed and fabricated a nanodevice exhibiting simultaneously ferromagnetic properties of nanostructures with plasmonic properties of continuous films. Our device consists of an array of nanomagnets on top of a continuous plasmonic film. The patterned nanomagnets magnetic state is single domain and well-defined shape anisotropy. Despite the presence of the patterned media on top of the Au film, the system exhibits surface plasmon resonance characteristics of a continuous film, i.e., propagating surface plasmon-polaritons.
