We propose a method for optically probing the magnetic states of metallic atoms encapsulated in single-walled carbon nanotubes. The absorption spectrum is calculated by solving the Bethe–Salpeter equation, which includes the effects of magnetic atoms, under the tight-binding approximation. Due to the exchange interaction between excitons and polarized spins in ferromagnets, triplet excitons acquire a finite oscillator strength and can thus be excited by light. This mechanism is promising for detecting magnetic ordering of materials encapsulated in carbon nanotubes
