Abstract :
We use spontaneous emission of Eu3+ ions as a spectroscopic tool to probe modifications of optical fields in close vicinity of metal and under the conditions of the optically-induced magnetic resonance. We reveal strictly different behavior of electric and magnetic dipole emission in a simple microscope setup, and also discuss the results theoretically.
