Effect of a nonlinear refractive index on Faraday rotation
نویسنده
چکیده
A theory for the nonlinear (with respect to the electric field) Faraday effect has been developed and applied to a simple model. Within the framework of this model, our analysis shows that the ratio of the nonlinear Uerdet constant to the linear Uerdet constant is proportional to the intensity of the incident light and depends on the frequency of light, the excitation energy of the model molecule, and the temperature of the medium. This ratio is small under ordinary conditions. However, under certain circumstances it may become large enough for experimental observation.

متن کاملNonlinear Faraday Rotation in Samarium Vapor
Studies of the nonlinear Faraday effect (rotation of the plane of polarization in a longitudinal magnetic field) on resonance atomic transitions have been reported in a number of theoretical and experimental papers [1-9]. The nonlinear effect manifests itself at moderate laser intensities in the absence of atomic collisions. It leads to narrow peaks in the magnetic field dependence of Faraday r...

The nonlinear optical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been studied by using the Z-scan technique. Experiments are performed by CW second harmonic of Nd-YAG laser at 532 nm wavelength with a power of 40 mW. The samples are synthesized by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method in the presence of Nickel and Nickel-Cobalt catalysts. In this work, for the first time, effect of the typ...
