An additional increase of the optical absorption is observed when light of intensity greater than 1 W/cm2 acts on single-crystal slabs of yttrium iron garnets. When a sample is subsequently subjected briefly to illumination by IR light of low intensity (∼10 mW/cm2) this effect is partially diminished or vanishes completely.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
