A plasmonic device amplifies an optical signal of a sample positioned subsequently thereto comprises a high refraction index dielectric element, a low refraction index dielectric element with a modifiable width and a layer of metal. When light producing plasmon resonance is received at a dielectric metal interface, a plasmonic field is generated in the sample. A system comprises the plasmonic device, a holder for placing the sample, an optical circuit with a light source and a photodetector and rotatable supports for the plasmonic device. A magneto optical signal is produced according to an incident light angle, a distance of the plasmonic device and the sample and the inner width of a dielectric in the plasmonic device. A method obtains an amplified magneto optical signal from the sample, modifies an angle near a total reflection, adjusts distance of the sample to the plasmonic device or internal width of second dielectric such that it produces a maximum plasmonic field.
