contents Artificial spin ices (ASI), containing magnetic monopole quasi-particles emerging at room temperature, have been investigated as a promising system to be applied in alternative low-power information technology devices. However, restrictions associated with the intrinsic energetic connections between opposing magnetic monopoles in conventional ASI need to be overcome to achieve this purpose. Here, photon-magnon scattering in nanomagnets is examined as an approach to locally activate the collective dynamics of interacting magnetic systems at the nanoscale. Low-power white and polarized light were employed as a new tool to manipulate magnetic monopole intensity, leading to tuning on the particles response to external magnetic field and spontaneous magnetization flipping without external field (thermodynamics). Our findings showing evidence of magnetic monopole plasma formation in a regular square ASI system are explained by an analytical model of photon-magnon conversion acting directly on the ASI nanomagnet dipole. Micromagnetic simulations based on the samples parameters and values obtained from the model present a very good qualitative correspondence between theory and observations for the investigated ASI system.
