Growth and magneto-optical properties of NaTb(WO4)2

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.…”

Growth and magnetic‐optical properties of Sr3Gd(BO3)3 and Sr3TbxGd1‐x(BO3)3 single crystals

“…Magneto-optical properties investigation The specific Faraday rotation was measured at room temperature using the magnet-optical test system [16] in the direction of SGB and TSGB optical axis ((001) plane).The result is shown in figure 4. Consecutively, the Verdet constants of as-grown crystals can be figured out, as listed in table 2.…”

Growth and magneto-optical properties of NaTb(MoO4)2 crystals

“…The Faraday rotation of the NaTb(MoO 4 ) 2 crystal in the direction of the optical axis was measured at room temperature by the extinction method [5]. In this measurement, lasers of 532, 633 and 1064 nm wavelengths were used as the sources of the probe beam.…”

“…NaTb(WO 4 ) 2 was reported to have larger Verdet constant and magneto-optical figure of merit than that of TGG in the visible and near-infrared regions [5]. In the last few years, molybdate crystals with the general formula MRe(MoO 4 ) 2 (M ¼ alkali metal, Re ¼ rare earth) have been found to be attractive host materials because of their large lanthanide concentrations [6][7][8][9][10][11].…”
