Low-loss noble metals like gold and silver are at the heart of plasmonics. Yet, many applications focus on metals with higher losses and less pronounced optical response. We discuss how a simple mirror and a dielectric spacer layer turn a transmission experiment into an interferometer. This scheme is used by us in a simple model to optimize the sensitivity to small changes of the optical response of weak scattereres. In particular, we present interferometrically detected magnetic hysteresis loops of sub-100nm nickel disks and compare the data with our model.
