Abstract Magneto-optical (MO) effects, viz. magnetically induced changes in light intensity or polarization upon reflection from transmission through a magnetic sample, were discovered over century and half ago. Initially they played crucially relevant role unveiling the fundamentals of electromagnetism quantum mechanics. A more broad-based relevance wide-spread use MO methods, however, remaine...

Some remarks are made on how to determine by magneto-optical imaging the electric currents flowing in a superconductor. The inversion problem is discussed how to compute these currents from the magnetic field measured in a planar magneto-optical indicator film positioned close to the conductor. Next, some geometries are listed for which the currents and magnetic fields can be computed from firs...

In this article, we review the history, current status, physical mechanisms, experimental methods, and applications of nonlinear magneto-optical effects in atomic vapors. We begin by describing the pioneering work of Macaluso and Corbino over a century ago on linear magneto-optical effects (in which the properties of the medium do not depend on the light power) in the vicinity of atomic resonan...

The technology involves a new type of compact device based on magneto-optics in a fiber micro modulator. This type of modulator allows the user to inter manipulate and control the propagation of the incoming light. The operation mechanism uses external magnetic field to manipulate Fe micro particle in order to cause modulation of an optical signal that propagates along an optical waveguide. Thi...
