“…From our research into the crystals with a high‐vaporization nature and that can be reproducibly grown and processed to high optical quality FRs, we realized that the FZ method has great potential to grow this sort of materials and we have grown several mm‐diameter pure TGG crystals with great optical properties . In this way, it can be easily fabricated by the FZ method and its growth cycle is short compared to the Cz method.…”

Cerium-doped terbium gallium garnet single crystal having a large Verdet constant was grown by floating zone (FZ) method, which was suitable for the use in optical devices. The lattice parameters and the X-ray rocking curve measurement of the crystal was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The Verdet constant of the crystal (B = 0.55 T) at the wavelength of 632.8 nm was −165.8 rad mat room temperature, 23.7% larger than that of pure TGG (−134.0 rad m −1 T −1 ). The performance of the high optical quality and excellent magneto-optical properties of the crystal shows the great potential of using this new method to meet the increasing demand of VI-NIR Faraday rotators.

“…Terbium-aluminum garnet, Tb 3 Al 5 O 12 (TAG), has been reported to show one of the promising paramagnetic magneto-optical materials in the visible-near IR spectral region, although it has a high light transmission coefficient and a high Verdet constant [12], its incongruent melting nature and unstable TAG phase in the process of growth hindered its industrial application. Recently, applied research on TGG (terbium-gallium garnet, Tb 3 Ga 5 O 12 ) crystal properties has gained increased interest, because of its excellent optical quality and high thermal stability [13].…”

“…Terbium-aluminum garnet, Tb 3 A l5 O 12 (TAG), has been reported to show the best paramagnetic magneto-optical properties in the visiblenear IR spectral region with a high light transmission coefficient and a high Verdet constant [10], nevertheless, its incongruent melting nature and unstable TAG phase in the Tb 2 O 3 -Al 2 O 3 system have so far impeded the growth of industrially practicable crystals [11]. With the lack of TAG, terbium-gallium garnet, Tb 3 Ga 5 O 12 (TGG) crystal, the next-best magneto-optical material of TAG [12], was introduced as Faraday isolators for high-power laser machinery [13], and make up for the deficiency of YIG in the visible and near infrared spectral regions.…”
