A ferromagnetic garnet, used as a magneto-optical (MO) material in magneto-photonic and magneto-plasmonic structures, is characterized. We present a general procedure to determine optical and magneto-optical functions of the magneto-optic garnet by using Mueller matrix ellipsometry. In the first step, the optical functions (the refractive index spectra) of the (CaMgZr)-doped gallium-gadolinium garnet (sGGG) substrate and the Bi-substituted gadolinium iron garnet Gd1.24Pr0.48Bi1.01Lu0.27Fe4.38Al0.6O12 (Bi:GIG) are obtained in the spectral range from 0.73 eV to 6.42 eV (wavelength range 193 nm - 1.7 μm). Subsequently, the spectra of the magneto-optical tensor components are obtained by applying an external in-plane magnetic field in longitudinal and transverse geometry. The obtained functions are then used to fit the Mueller matrix spectra of a magneto-plasmonic structure with a gold grating on the magneto-optic garnet layer. This structure has recently been demonstrated to have strongly enhanced transverse magneto-optic Kerr response at visible and near-infrared frequencies. By taking possible fabrication imperfections (surface roughness, residual photo-resist layer, thickness deviation) into account, the measured strongly enhanced MO response fits very well to the numerical model predicting these exaltations
