Abstract We numerically explore optical Tamm states (OTS) supported by a photonic structure composed of a nanostructured metallic layer on top of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). Several polarizations, incidences and patterning are assessed to map OTS and their properties. We then gain magnetic control of the OTS by adding a cobalt layer below the metal pattern and switching its magnetization. This control, widely used in plasmonics, takes advantage of the Transverse Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect (TMOKE). The simulated TMOKE signal of this structure has an amplitude of the order of 10 -3 and, compared to conventional magnetoplasmonic structures, provides high energy confinement between the metal stripes. In addition to the opening of the metallic layer that allows better access of the analyte to the sensitive area, this paves the way for higher sensitivities in bio- and chemical sensing applications.
