Giant Faraday Rotation of Ce-Substituted YIG Films Epitaxially Grown by RF Sputtering

Abstract: Cerium substituted yttrium iron garnet films epitaxially grown by rf diode sputtering were found to have exceptionally large Faraday rotation in the visible and near infrared (1–2 eV). Faraday rotation at room temperature is enhanced in proportion to Ce content by a factor per Ce ion of 2×104 deg/cm for λ=633 nm and -1.3×104 deg/cm for 1150 nm. The latter factor is 5 times higher than that by Bi. The Ce-substituted YIG films are the most promising magneto-optical materials.

“…1, where the wavelength ..\ is 1.152/'Lm and the refractive indexes of a substrate and a top layer are n~ = 1.95 and nc = 1.0, respectively. The refractive index no: = n 1l = n z ~ n and the off-diagonal component of the relative permittivity tensor 0 of magnetooptic materials are given in Table I [2], [7], [8], (13]. For simplicity, we assume the artificial boundary walls x = ±X /2, y = -Y~, and y = t + Y c (magnetooptic rib waveguides) or y = t+h +Y c (magnetooptic ridge waveguides) far from the core region.…”

“…31,32 To evaluate this factor, we calculated the influences of the CeYIG optical absorption and Faraday rotation on the device sensing FoM. [22][23][24] The FoM is observed to increase exponentially with decreasing the CeYIG optical loss and increase linearly with increasing the magneto-optical effects of the CeYIG. So the optical loss of the CeYIG is a very important factor for device performance.…”

“…20 A two dimensional (2D) model was used in the simulations. By adopting the material parameters of Ag 21 and CeYIG, [22][23][24] and varying the incident light angle and wavelength, we observed MOSPR at phase matching conditions for SPP excitation.…”

“…In 1973, the Faraday rotation angle in the VIS and NIR regions of Bi 3+ -doped YIG was found to be one to two orders of magnitude larger than that of pure YIG [16−18] . In 1988, Ce 3+ -doped YIG was investigated and its magnetooptical properties were found to be more efficient than those of Bi:YIG [19] . Previous works have also investigated Tb 3+ -doped Y 3 Al 5 O 12 (YAG) [20,21] .…”
