Growth and magneto-optical properties of LiTb(MoO4)2 crystal

Growth and Faraday rotation characteristics of Tb3−xNdxGa5O12 single crystal

“…TGG has a high Verdet constant and low-absorption coefficient in visible and near-infrared spectral region [14]. Tb 3+ has been pointed to show the best magneto-optical properties [10,15], and magneto-optic crystals contain Tb 3+ ion were widely studied in recently years [16][17][18]. Studies have shown that Nd 3+ substitution in garnet may induce a marked enhancement of the Faraday rotation although the magnetic moment of the Nd 3+ ion in garnet is very small [19,20].…”

Faraday Isolators for High Average Power Lasers

“…Verdet constants of LiTb(MoO 4 ) 2 (Guo et al, 2009) and NaTb(WO 4 ) 2 (Liu et al, 2008) are even higher. However, the figures of merit μ i and μ of all these crystals are unknown up to now.…”

Magnetoactive media for cryogenic Faraday isolators

“…Thanks to their high lanthanide concentration, they may be superior to TGG in the Verdet constant. Examples of such media are NaTbðMoO 4 Þ 2 [33] and LiTbðMoO 4 Þ 2 [34], which have a better Verdet constant than TGG and lower absorption.…”
