“…With the substitution of yttrium with bismuth or rare earth elements such as cerium, it is possible to enhance the FE with only small changes of magnetic moment [10,11], while the garnet maintains its important property as an electrical insulator. The influence of the substitution of bismuth on the magneto-optic properties has been investigated intensively [12][13][14][15], while for cerium only the FE has been studied in bulk [16][17][18] and to a lesser extent for thin films [19][20][21][22][23], However, studies have not been carried out on the magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) in Ce∶YIG, which is relevant for magneto-optic readout applications that are based on reflection geometry. As the MOKE in YIG is known to be small for wavelengths in the red and nearinfrared spectral range, used for optical communications, Ce∶YIG thin films are potentially promising, but the MOKE in Ce∶YIG needs to be characterized in this wavelength range.…”

Use of the polarization properties of magneto-optic fiber Bragg gratings for magnetic field sensing purposes

“…In order to improve Faraday Effect, magneto-optic based fiber Bragg grating (MFBG) [13], such as rare-earth-doped FBG [14] or FBG wrote on an yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) fiber [15] can be employed. This paper focuses on the polarization properties of MFBG in presence of magnetically induced circular birefringence.…”

Rare earth cerium doping effects in nonlinear optical materials: potassiumhydrogen phthalate (KHP) and tris(thiourea)zinc(II) sulfate (ZTS)

“…Cerium-substituted YIG (Y 3Àx Ce x Fe 5 O 12 , Ce:YIG) single crystals have been extensively studied. 23 High quality Ce 3+ -doped Y 3 Al 5 O 12 phosphors were synthesized by a facile sol-gel combustion method. 24 LiCaAlF 6 crystals doped with cerium and europium ions have been reported as potential new dosimetric materials.…”
