The hyperfine Paschen–Back Faraday effect

Vacuum Faraday effect for electrons

The optical Faraday effect describes the rotation of linear polarization upon propagation through a medium in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field. The effect arises from a different phase delay between the right and left handed polarization components of the light. In this paper we predict a Faraday effect for a completely different system: electron vortices. Free electron vortex stat...

Inverse Faraday effect in plasmonic heterostructures

The phenomenon of the surface plasmon assisted electromagnetic field concentration in the vicinity of the metal/dielectric interface of a periodically perforated with subwavelength holes arrays plasmonic structure is considered. An increase of the local stationary magnetic field appearing due to the inverse Faraday effect while the heterostructure is illuminated by circularly polarized light is...

Multiple Reflections in the Theory of the Faraday Effect

In the case of the transmission of linearly polarized light, of angular frequency w, through a single medium, surrounded by vacuum on both sides, Donovan and Medcalf have given an exact treatment of multiple reflections in the theory of the Faraday effect. For the purpose of treating transmission through more complicated systems, Piller showed that, for wc % w (where wc is the cyclotron frequen...

Current measurement by Faraday effect on GEPOPU.

The design of an optical current sensor to be used in a pulsed power generator is presented. The current sensor is based on the polarization rotation by the Faraday effect. GEPOPU is a pulsed power generator, 110 kA, 120 ns double transit time, 1.5 Ω coaxial geometry, and current rise time of 50 ns. Two different optical geometries surrounding the conductor were tried, using Amici roof prism an...
