چکیده
Title of dissertation: THE OPTICAL KERR EFFECT OF LIQUIDS Xiang Zhu, Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Dissertation directed by: Professor John T. Fourkas Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Optical Kerr effect (OKE) spectroscopy has found broad use in monitoring ultrafast dynamics in transparent media. I demonstrated that by using two pump pulses with independently-controllable polarizations, intensity and timing, different contributions to the OKE signal in liquids can be enhanced and suppressed, and I characterize in detail perpendicularly-polarized pulses used for the excitation step in OKE spectroscopy. The results indicate that the signal can be described well as arising from the sum of independent third-order responses initiated by each pump

Longitudinal Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect in Ce:YIG Thin Films Incorporating Gold Nanoparticles
We report an experimental study on optical and magneto-optical properties of Cesubstituted yttrium iron garnet thin films incorporating gold nanoparticles. Au nanoparticles were formed by heating Au thin film on cubic quartz and garnet substrate in vacuum chamber and a Ce:YIG layer was deposited on them by the aid of Pulsed laser deposition method. A large enhancement of the longitudinal Kerr e...

We studied magnetophotonic crystals (MPCs) with introduced magneticdefect layer sandwiched between magnetic and dielectric Bragg mirrors. Thesemagnetophotonic crystals have excellent capabilities to enhance reflection and Kerrrotation simultaneously. By adjusting spatial configuration such as repetition numbersof Bragg mirrors and thickness of magnetic defect layer, we a...
