Résumé

We demonstrate an enhancement of Faraday rotation in reflection geometry (polar Kerr effect) for semimagnetic quantum wells embedded in a semiconductor-metal optical cavity. The theory of light reflection and Faraday rotation in Multiquantum well heterostructures is developed and applied to fit the experimental results. The large Faraday rotation (54.4 degrees T-1) makes this structure suitable for use as magneto-optic layers in the Faraday microscopy of the magnetic flux pattern at the surface of superconducting films
