We studied the influence of excitons in a CdMnTe/CdMgTe quantum well (QW) structure on the transverse magneto-optic Kerr effect (TMOKE) using a Fourier imaging setup, which allows the measurement of the reflected light’s intensity as a function of its energy and angular distribution at the same time. Induced by the giant Zeeman splitting of excitons in diluted magnetic semiconductors, we see a two-order enhancement of the TMOKE in the spectral region of the excitonic resonances. We are able to separate between contributions from heavy and light hole exciton states in the TMOKE’s spectral dependence with up to 2% effect at an incidence angle of about 20^∘.
