Preparation of magnetophotonic crystals with ND-controlled EB-evaporation method and their large enhancement of Faraday effect

Far infrared Faraday rotation effect in one-dimensional microcavity type magnetic photonic crystals

“…Those structures were quickly prepared and addressed by both the experiments and further calculations [12][13][14][15][16], and excellent agreement between the experiments and calculations was achieved in Ref. [17]. Recently, the EFR was presented on a variety of structures, including 2D and 3D MPCs [18,19] and the optical Tam structures [20,21].…”

Magnetophotonic crystals—a novel magneto-optic material with artificial periodic structures

“…The use of 1D-MPCs for film-type optical isolator/circulator devices has been examined by several authors. 8,[42][43][44][45][46][47][48] The 1D-MPCs whose optical and MO properties simultaneously meet the isolator requirements can be designed in combination with dielectric films. 47 1D-MPCs are also considered to be useful for magneto-optic spatial light modulators (MOSLMs).…”

Synthesis of high-quality inverse opals based on magnetic complex oxides: yttrium iron garnet (Y3Fe5O12) and bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3)

“…2 If a magnetic microcavity is introduced in a periodic layered structure, localization of light in the magnetic defect results in a signicant enhancement of Faraday and Kerr rotations, 3,4 and nonlinear magnetooptical Kerr effect (NOMOKE) or magnetization-induced variations in second harmonic generation (MSHG) intensity.…”

“…2 So far, most of the experimental studies of MPCs focused on one-dimensional (1D) structures, which could be fabricated by consecutive deposition of magnetic and nonmagnetic layers. 2 If a magnetic microcavity is introduced in a periodic layered structure, localization of light in the magnetic defect results in a signicant enhancement of Faraday and Kerr rotations, 3,4 and nonlinear magnetooptical Kerr effect (NOMOKE) or magnetization-induced variations in second harmonic generation (MSHG) intensity. [5][6][7] Similarly, light localization on a planar defect introduced in a colloidal crystal 8 results in enhancement of Faraday effect.…”

“…[24][25][26] Because of its unique properties, YIG and related materials, such as Bi:YIG, were oen used for 1D and defect-mode MPCs. [4][5][6][7][8][9] BFO is also optically transparent in the near infrared region, 27 and also exhibits second harmonic generation and MSHG. [27][28][29] Furthermore, BFO has recently attracted a lot of attention as a multiferroic material with correlated antiferromagnetic and ferroelectric ordering, 30 in which magnetic switching could be performed by application of an electric eld.…”
