One-dimensional magnetophotonic crystals with magnetooptical double layers

One-dimensional magnetophotonic microcavity crystals with nongarnet dielectric mirrors are created and investigated. The defect layers in the magnetophotonic crystals are represented by two bismuth-substituted yttrium iron garnet Bi:YIG layers with various bismuth contents in order to achieve a high magnetooptical response of the crystals. The parameters of the magnetophotonic crystal layers are optimized by numerical solution of the Maxwell equations by the transfer matrix method to achieve high values of Faraday rotation angle Θ _F and magnetooptical Q factor. The calculated and experimental data agree well with each other. The maximum values of Θ _F =–20.6°, Q = 8.1° at a gain t = 16 are obtained for magnetophotonic crystals with m = 7 pairs of layers in Bragg mirrors, and the parameters obtained for crystals with m = 4 and t = 8.5 are Θ _F =–12.5° and Q = 14.3°. It is shown that, together with all-garnet and multimicrocavities magnetophotonic crystals, such structures have high magnetooptical characteristics.     

Magnetooptical Kerr effect of Fe-gratings

The magnetooptical Kerr effect in longitudinal configuration is used to measure hysteresis loops of ferromagnetic Fe-gratings grown on Al₂O₃ at different orders of diffraction. At even order of diffraction the hysteresis loops exhibit anomalies which can be attributed to the interference of the magnetic and non-magnetic parts of the grating. The Kerr angle in saturation increases linearly with the order of diffraction.     

Magnetization-induced second harmonic generation in magnetophotonic microcavities based on ferrite garnets

Magnetization-induced second harmonic generation was observed in magnetophotonic microcavities consisting of a ferromagnetic yttrium-iron garnet layer surrounded by nonmagnetic photonic crystals (Bragg reflectors). At resonance between the fundamental radiation and the microcavity mode in the geometry of polar magnetooptical Kerr effect, the polarization rotation for the second harmonic was found to be (18.5±0.5)°/μm for the fundamental radiation with a wavelength of 825 nm.     

Magnetorefractive effect in manganites

The magnetotrans mittance and magnetoreflectance of manganite films and one-dimensional magnetophotonic crystals containing a manganite film as a defect are calculated. The calculations demonstrate that the magnetotransmittance and magnetoreflectance of manganites with a colossal magnetoresistance can be treated as a manifestation of the magnetorefractive effect. The magnitude of the magnetorefractive effect in transmission can reach 20–40% at low temperatures. The effect in reflection amounts to 1–2% for a 300-nm-thick film and can be substantially amplified through multibeam interference in the symmetric and antisymmetric structures of magnetophotonic crystals with a built-in defect.

Compact 1-D magnetophotonic crystals with simultaneous large magnetooptical Kerr rotation and high reflectance

We have investigated the case of reflection-type one-dimensional magnetophotonic crystals (MPCs) in order to achieve high reflectance and high magnetooptical Kerr effect, simultaneously, utilizing a low number of magnetic layers. In a MPC structure including only one Bi:YIG magnetic layer, we have achieved a Kerr rotation as huge as θ_k ≈ 90° with a reflectance of R > 97%. In addition, we have introduced a thinner structure having three Bi:YIG layers and with approximately the same Kerr rotation and reflectance. Both the structures are very compact with lengths of less than 9 μm.

Infrared magnetooptic — A tool for the determination of the effective mass

The analysis of the magnetooptical effects of heavily doped materials at the plasma edge yields the concentration dependence of the effective cyclotron mass. Therefore these experiments support the general diskussion about the nonparabolicity of a band, the position of the Fermi level at high degenerated semiconductors and the determination of the dispersion function. Experimental results of the magnetooptical determinedm _c ^* (N) function are compared with coresponding band structure calculations. A matrix calculation model, which describes the symmetrical magnetooptical transmission effects as well as the asymmetrical magnetooptical reflection effects of arbitrary successions of coherent films and incoherent substrates consitently, is used to determine free carrier density profilesN (z) of inhomogeneously doped semiconductors non-destructively. This application of the matrix formalism requires the knowledge of them ^* (N)-function. The influence of the effective cyclotron mass on thedifferential magnetooptical interference structures caused by buried density profiles is discussed.     

Enhancement of the Kerr effect in magnetooptical DyFeCo/GeO carriers

The optimum parameters of a dielectric layer near the substrate in the interference multilayer structure are calculated. The calculations showed that this layer should have the index of refraction n∼3. The results are presented of measuring the Kerr angle of magnetooptical rotation in the multilayer structure, in which GeO films were used as dielectric layers for the first time. The maximum Kerr angle of rotation and magnetooptical quality observed in this system were 0.75° and 0.34°, respectively. These values exceed those inherent in the known information carriers, which demonstrates the advantage of this structure for use in magnetooptical discs.

Magnetooptical properties of Co-SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> granular films

The structural, optical, and magnetooptical properties of Co-SiO₂ granular films are studied. It is found that the magnetooptical response is considerably enhanced in samples with a metal component concentration close to the percolation threshold. The Co nanogranules formed in the SiO₂ matrix exhibit ferromagnetic properties and are ordered into the fcc structure, which is confirmed by magnetooptical investigations. The magnetooptical properties of nanocomposites are simulated in the effective-medium approximation. It is shown that the singularities found in the magnetooptical spectra are related to the excitation of plasmon resonances in granular films.

Anomalies of magnetooptical diffraction in ferrite-garnet films

Experimental magnetooptical diffraction spectra produced by the band domain sructure in an epitaxial ferrite-garnet film are described. Asymmetry of the optical field in symmetric maxima is observed when a laser beam is normally incident on the sample. Analysis of the experimental data shows that the factors responsible for disrupting the symmetry of the magnetooptical diffraction spectrum include the inclination of the domain walls and inequality of the Fresnel coefficients fors andp polarizations of the incident radiation.

Femtosecond dynamics of Co thin films on Si support

The ultrafast electron and spin dynamics of Co films was investigated using a femto-second pump-probe technique. The samples were magnetically characterized by means of magnetooptical Kerr effect and non-optical magnetometers, i.e. superconductive quantum interference device and alternating gradient field magnetometer. Time evolution of both, Kerr rotation and ellipticity, was measured at different points of the static hysteresis cycle. This allowed separating magnetic and non-magnetic contributions to the signal. The sample magnetization was found to drop within 200 fs, following the pulse cross-correlation trace, while the magnetization recovery time was found to last few picoseconds.

Magneto-optical effects for detection of in-plane magnetization in plasmonic crystals

Methods for magneto-optical detection of the in-plane magnetization in a magnetic film due to the deposition of a one-dimensional metallic diffraction grating on the film have been considered. This structure is a magnetoplasmonic crystal, in which the excitation of the waveguide and plasmon modes leads to the appearance of five resonant magneto-optical effects that consist in a change of the intensity, the polarization, and the phase of the transmitted and reflected waves. The conditions responsible for the origin of these effects and their magnitude are determined by the configuration of the incident light, the parameters of the metallic grating, and the chemical composition of the magnetic layer. It has been found that the magnetophotonic intensity effects are the most optimal for the detection of the in-plane magnetization. The influence of the parameters of the metallic grating on the magneto-optical effects has been analyzed and the most optimal conditions for the observation of these effects have been determined. It has also been found that an increase in the concentration of bismuth in a magnetic dielectric material can lead to a weakening of the optical and magneto-optical responses.
