Abstract

We demonstrate the enhancement of magnetic dipole spontaneous emission from Eu<sup>3+</sup> ions by an engineered plasmonic nanostructure that controls the electromagnetic environment of the emitter. Using an optical microscope setup, an enhancement in the intensity of the Eu<sup>3+</sup> magnetic dipole emission was observed for emitters located in close vicinity to a gold nanohole array designed to support plasmonic resonances overlapping with the emission spectrum of the ions.
