Magneto optical crystals

Pictures Materials / Sizes Features / Applications
Terbium gallium garnet (Tb3Ga5O12, TGG) is a crucial category of magneto-optical materials for use in the visible and the near-infrared spectral regions (400-470nm and 500-1500nm)

Diameter: 4 inches max. (Customized sizes can be 2.8mm, 5mm, 2.3mm)

Large Verdet Constant (Typical 35dB, up to 40dB)

Low optical losses (< 0.1%/cm)

High thermal conductivity (7.4Wm-1K-1)

High laser damage threshold (> 1GW/cm2)

Refractive index 1.95 at 1064nm

Applications: Faraday rotator, Optical isolator, Magnetic sensor, Free space isolator

TSAG (Tb3Sc2Al3O12) Faraday crystal is an ideal magneto-optical crystal, which is mainly used in the wavelength range of 400-1600nm, namely the visible and infrared bands

Diameter: 1-70mm

Large Verdet constant (48 radT-1m-1 at 1064nm), about 20% higher than that of TGG

Low absorption (< 3000ppm/cm at 1064nm), about 30% less than that of TGG

High power compliant

Low thermally-induced birefringence

Making the isolator small

Applications: Faraday isolator (high power lasers), Imaging applications
